Cellular senescence occurs when cells stop dividing but remain active, contributing to aging and age-related diseases. This process serves as a protective mechanism to prevent the spread of damaged DNA that could lead to conditions like cancer.
But as senescent cells accumulate, they release inflammatory substances that damage surrounding tissues, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of chronic diseases.
Targeting cellular senescence has become a major focus in anti-aging research. Scientists are developing strategies to eliminate these non-dividing cells or reduce their harmful effects.
This has led to the emergence of senolytic drugs, which selectively destroy senescent cells.
Early studies suggest that reducing the number of these cells can improve tissue function, lower the risk of age-related diseases, and extend healthspan, offering new approaches for promoting longevity.
