What the project is doing
Rubedo RLS-1496 senescent-cell 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 whether the treatment is safe enough and shows enough biological activity to continue.
What could stop it
The study is mainly about safety and dose. It may not show whether people actually live longer or feel better.
