🧬 Cellular Senescence: The Zombie Cells Within Us
Ever wonder why we age? Meet senescent cells - the "zombie cells" that stop dividing but refuse to die.
What happens:
→ Healthy cells become damaged (stress, DNA damage, telomere shortening)
The future of longevity? Senolytics - drugs that selectively eliminate these zombie cells, potentially reversing aspects of aging.
