Track Senolytics with reminders and record whether it helped, in the app.
Senolytics are a class of compounds that selectively induce the death of senescent cells—cells that have stopped dividing and accumulate with age, contributing to aging and age-related diseases.
Senolytics work by targeting and eliminating senescent cells through various mechanisms, such as inhibiting pathways that help these cells survive. Removing these dysfunctional cells reduces inflammation and tissue damage, promoting healthier aging and improving function in multiple tissues.
There are several senolytic compounds under investigation, including:
Senolytics are available in various forms, including oral capsules, tablets, and injections, depending on the specific compound and its formulation.
There is no recognized deficiency of senolytics. However, the accumulation of senescent cells with age can lead to chronic inflammation and tissue dysfunction. Senolytic therapy aims to mitigate these effects.
Research into senolytics began in the early 21st century, with the first major studies published around 2015, demonstrating their potential in animal models.
