Restoring cellular recycling helps the body clear harmful zombie cells
As we grow older, our bodies accumulate "zombie cells"-living cells that have stopped dividing or functioning normally-but linger in our tissues, contributing to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases.
The findings of the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have been published in the scientific journal Nature Aging.
U.S. scientists have discovered why the so-called zombie cells accumulate in the body with human aging and have identified a path that can help eliminate them. The discovery, released on Monday (5), can open up new possibilities to combat aging-related diseases. The study was carried out by researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, [...]
Failing Cellular Recycling Lets Zombie Cells Pile Up as We Age, Study Finds
A new Nature Aging study from Albert Einstein College of Medicine shows that age-related decline in chaperone-mediated autophagy allows senescent zombie cells to evade immune clearance, and that a CMA-activating compound can reverse the buildup in mice.
