The Clinical Potential of Senolytic Drugs

Senolytic drugs are agents that selectively induce apoptosis of senescent cells. These cells accumulate in many tissues with aging and at sites of pathology in multiple chronic diseases. In studies in animals, targeting senescent cells using genetic or pharmacological approaches delays, prevents, or alleviates multiple age‐related phenotypes, chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and loss of physiological resilience. Among the chronic...
