Zombie Cells and Mitochondrial Metabolism Drive Chronic Inflammation in Aging
CB Signal9Researchers have identified new drivers of chronic inflammation linked to aging, focusing on "zombie cells" or senescent cells. These metabolically active cells, which have stopped dividing, release inflammatory molecules. Mitochondrial metabolism is emerging as a key target for interventions against age-related chronic inflammation.
Why it mattersUnderstanding the role of senescent cells and mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic inflammation could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for a range of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
