A thought-provoking new piece from @jpsenescence casting doubt on the effectiveness of senolytics as anti-ageing therapies. Essential reading for anyone following translational ageing research 👇.#Ageing #Senolytics #AntiAgeing.
Can senolytics slow aging?. Recent clinical trials and the largest mouse study of senolytics to date have failed to support this notion, raising questions regarding the future of senolytics as an anti-aging therapy. The latest @NatureBiotech 🚨. 1/3.

🚨New paper alert: A must-read for anyone interested in the biology of ageing. @jpsenescence offers a comprehensive overview of the major theories of ageing - @NatureCellBio paper now available online 👇.#Ageing #Research.
🚨New paper on theories of ageing. I discuss the major mechanistic theories of ageing in light of recent findings as well as the fundamental nature of the ageing process. Theoretical work is more important than ever in biology, including in ageing.
