What the project is doing
Mayo Clinic senolytic trials programme is being developed as part of the wider effort to prevent, delay or repair age-related decline.
What this could do for you
If it works, it could remove or quiet damaged cells that build up with age and disturb the healthy cells around them.
What has to happen next
The next checkpoint is a defined experiment, development partner or route into human testing.
What could stop it
The idea may never become a practical treatment, even when the biological reasoning is interesting.
