Clearing Out Aging Cells Made Stem Cell Repair Work Far Better in Mice
Old, worn-out cells (called senescent cells) seem to block the body's natural repair work. In mice with liver damage and forced aging, combining a treatment that clears these cells with stem cell therapy worked far better than either alone. The combo reversed signs of aging and restored repair signals. This is early animal research, not tested in people.
