For many people, living longer brings health challenges: Osteoporosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease. And of course, zombie cells. The technical term is senescent cells. They’re damaged and unable to ...

The first in vivo cell atlas of senescent tissue in skeletal muscle has identified the damaging properties of these cells and explained why they block muscle regeneration. According to a study at ...

A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) and Professor Yasuhiro Yamada at the University of Tokyo has developed a novel in vivo system that reveals how ...

Original story from Mayo Clinic (MN, USA). A new technique for tagging senescent cells – which are associated with numerous diseases – has been developed. When it comes to treating disease, one ...

Aged and frail people often suffer a decline in tissue reserve capacity during aging. This reserve, called resilience, helps the body maintain homeostasis through various defense, compensation, ...

When it comes to treating disease, one promising avenue is addressing the presence of senescent cells. These cells - also known as "zombie cells" - stop dividing but don't die off as cells typically ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...
