"Reprogramming T Cells for Anti-Aging Benefits"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Earth.com
Researchers have discovered that T cells can be genetically reprogrammed to combat aging by targeting senescent cells, which contribute to age-related diseases. Using CAR T cell therapy, they demonstrated its potential to slow down and reverse aging in mice, leading to improved metabolism and physical activity. The therapy's long-lasting effects make it advantageous for chronic conditions, and ongoing research aims to determine if it can extend lifespan. T cells play a crucial role in the immune system and have shown promise in medical research, particularly in cancer therapy.
