Development of senolytics for selectively elimination of senescent cells / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aging is the primary risk factor for many of the most common chronic diseases. The association of cellular senescence with aging-associated conditions has gaining increasing attention. There is now considerable evidence that senescent cell accumulation is an underlying mechanism of aging and age-related diseases. Senescent cells have been emerging as a target for new therapeutic strategies against aging-related pathology. Herein, we review the evidence that cellular senescence drives age-related deterioration and senolytics produce beneficial effect by selective elimination of senescent cells.
