Deep dives

Understanding Apoptosis and Senescence

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a crucial biological process that ensures proper cellular function and maintenance. However, when cells become dysfunctional, this process can be disrupted, leading to the formation of senescent cells, commonly referred to as 'zombie cells.' These senescent cells can still secrete pro-inflammatory substances, contributing to inflammation and potentially causing various health issues. As individuals age, the accumulation of these zombie cells is linked to several age-related conditions, making it important to maintain a balance of senescent cells in the body.
