"Reprogramming T Cells: A Breakthrough in Slowing Aging"
TL;DR Summary
A new study led by Dr. Corina Amor Vegas at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory describes a potential anti-aging therapy using CAR T cells, which are genetically engineered to target and destroy senescent cells linked to age-related health problems. In mice, a single injection of these senolytic CAR T cells in young adulthood slowed aging, improved metabolic profiles, and rejuvenated elderly mice. The treatment shows promise for addressing age-related diseases, but further research is needed to determine its long-term effects and potential side effects in humans.
