Scientists in Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking, label-free method to identify aging human cells using electric fields. This new technique avoids the downsides of chemical tagging, which can ...

For many people, living longer brings health challenges: Osteoporosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease. And of course, zombie cells. The technical term is senescent cells. They’re damaged and unable to ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists seeking to unlock the secrets of cellular aging have identified a gene that triggers senescence, a phenomenon in which cells stop dividing. Senescence is a natural ...

Senescent “zombie” cells are linked to aging and multiple diseases, but spotting them in living tissue has been notoriously difficult. Researchers at Mayo Clinic have now taken an inventive leap by ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by the progressive decline of physiological integrity, leading to impaired function and increased vulnerability to disease. It is the strongest risk ...
