Senescent zombie cells refuse to die and secrete inflammatory factors that accelerate aging and chronic diseases. New therapies called senolytics can eliminate these cells, potentially extending healthy lifespan and preventing conditions from arthritis to neurodegeneration.
The immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) can reverse its aging by transforming from adult back to juvenile through cellular transdifferentiation—a discovery that's revolutionizing longevity research. Scientists have sequenced its genome and identified key genes for DNA repair and telomere maintenance that could inform human anti-aging therapies. While true immortality treatments remain years away, this tiny marine creature proves biological clocks can be reset, opening possibilities for r...
Age-reversal technologies including telomere extension, senolytics, and regenerative medicine are transitioning from labs to trials, promising extended lifespans that could fundamentally reshape economies, healthcare, and society—but raising urgent questions about equity and access.
Senolytic drugs selectively eliminate zombie cells that accumulate with age, showing breakthrough results in human trials for cancer treatment and metabolic health.
