 Episode notes 
Senescent Cells and Aging
- Senescent cells, also known as zombie cells, accumulate in tissues as organisms age.
 - These cells contribute to age-related dysfunction and health challenges.
 
Impact of Senescent Cells
- Senescent cells release harmful substances that can turn nearby healthy cells into more zombie cells.
 - They also exhaust stem cells, hindering tissue regeneration.
 
The Role of Senolytics
- Senolytic compounds help remove senescent cells by recalibrating their survival mechanisms.
 - Without intervention, these cells continue to accumulate, accelerating age-related decline.
