New Drug Combination Targets Cancer and Senescent Cells While Extending Lifespan in Old Mice
BUFFALO, NY — August 3, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 17, 2026, titled “Selective targeting of cancer and senescence via shared metabolic shifts extends lifespan of old mice.” The study was led by first author Zachery R. Robinson, and corresponding author and Aging editorial board member Irina M. Conboy, both from the Department of Bioengineering and QB3 Institute, University of California, Berkeley. The researchers developed a new combination therapy that selectively targets both cancer cells and senescent cells by exploiting metabolic…
