Scientists examine how 'zombie' cells accumulate in the body
Original: Digging up the thread of ‘zombie’ cell accumulation
Senescent cells, often called 'zombie' cells, stop dividing but refuse to die, and their buildup in tissues is increasingly linked to ageing and chronic disease. New coverage in the biotechnology press examines how researchers are tracing the mechanisms behind this accumulation, a focus area for scientists developing senolytic drugs that aim to clear these cells from the body.
Why now: Growing interest in ageing research and senolytic therapies keeps senescent cell biology in the news.
