Zombie Cells: How Cellular Senescence Affects Your Health

I think senolytics are promising but they are still under the trails stage in humans for its effectiveness and safety. I think they need to perform long term, placebo controlled trails in humans further more study unleashes the real effective treatment against zombie cells.

It’s really great that we have over 20 ongoing clinical trails examining senolytics for age-related problems, but here I am concerning how close we are to actually finding major outcomes that might be translated into regular clinical practice. An absence of predefined medical outcomes seems to pose an issue for the medical field at the moment.

Fascinating read , I wasn’t aware that zombie cells come under senescent cells. Senolytics could be revolutionary but we need it to be a safe and precise approach

I’m especially curious about future therapies targeting senescent cells senolytics seem promising

Senolytics aim to clear harmful “zombie cells” that accelerate aging and disease. Early research shows promise, especially in animals, and some human trials are encouraging. They could be game-changers, but more studies are needed to confirm long-term safety and effectiveness.

Zombie cells, scientifically known as senescent cells, are old or damaged cells that have stopped dividing but do not die when they should. Instead, they stay in the body and can cause harm by releasing inflammatory substances. Here’s a breakdown
Clearing zombie cells is a hot topic in anti-aging research, with hopes to:
Delay aging
Improve quality of life in the elderly
Reduce age-related diseases

I think that senolytics are promising,but we should take them with a grain of salt.The concept of rescuing senescent or zombie cells to decrease inflammation and age related tissue loss,rests on solid biological rationale and mounting preclinical data.Compounds such as Dasatinib,Quercetin and Fisetin have all been shown in animal models to have strong effects in improving physical health,organ health and even life-expectancy.That is wonderful,yet it is not clear how the same effects can be transferred to the human body safely yet.The earliest clinical trials have produced positive indicators,but long-term comprehensive studies are required to develop a comprehensive picture of their effectiveness and adverse outcomes.Therefore,it is probable that senolytics will become an effective treatment option in age-related diseases,although not a miracle pill.We are on the right track so one day they may form a major component of healthy ageing treatments with further research.
