The Role of Senolytics in Anti-Aging:
As we age, our bodies accumulate senescent cells — metabolically active, non-dividing cells that secrete pro-inflammatory factors and contribute to age-related diseases.
Enter senolytics: a class of therapies designed to selectively eliminate senescent cells, with the goal of reducing chronic inflammation, improving tissue function, and extending not just lifespan, but healthspan.
Recent studies have shown promising outcomes in preclinical models, including improvements in cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic health.
This emerging field sits at the intersection of cellular biology, biogerontology, and translational medicine — and could fundamentally change how we approach aging, chronic disease, and even preventive care.
