"Unlocking the Fountain of Youth: Senolytic CAR T Cells and the Secret to Slower Aging"
TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered a breakthrough in anti-ageing research, revealing that reprogrammed T cells known as CAR T cells can slow and even reduce the effects of ageing by targeting and eliminating senescent cells responsible for age-related conditions and diseases. The treatment, dubbed the 'living drug', has shown promising results in mice, with potential long-lasting effects after a single dose. This discovery could revolutionize anti-ageing therapies and pave the way for a healthier and potentially longer life.
