Our research opens up new possibilities for developing therapies that target senescent cells, potentially delaying the onset of age-related conditions and improving overall healthspan. #healthspan #futureofaging #longevity #.

But here's the exciting part: we found that by targeting PD-L1 with specific antibodies, we can remove these "invisible" senescent cells! A step forward to fight against age-related diseases. 💪 #immunotherapy #antiaging

An increase in p16 disrupts the ubiquitination of the PD-L1 protein, affecting its degradation rate and resulting in higher levels of PD-L1 protein on the senescent cell. #p16 #ubiquitination #PDL1 #senescence.

This increased PD-L1 stability is driven by a protein called p16, a key marker of senescence. So, p16 not only controls cell cycle arrest but also helps senescent cells evade immune-surveillance! 🤯#p16 #PDL1 #immunesurveillance.

We discovered that senescent cells have a survival-mechanism up their sleeve: they increase the stability of a protein called PD-L1. This protein acts like an "invisibility cloak," hiding senescent cells from the immune system. 👻 #immunesystem #PDL1.

Aging is a complex process, and one of its hallmarks is the accumulation of senescent cells. These cells, while once healthy, have become damaged and dysfunctional. But why do they stick around? 🤔 . Our new research sheds light on this! #aging #senescentcells #aging.
