EDITORS’ CHOICE: Slowing intervertebral disc aging in mice through long-term systemic treatment
A #Research paper recently #Published in Volume 18 of Aging, titled “Slowing intervertebral disc aging in mice through long-term systemic treatment with the senolytic BCL-2/BCL-xL proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) 753b,” examines whether the senolytic PROTAC 753b can slow age-related intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) in mice. Long-term systemic treatment with 753b reduced key features of disc degeneration in 22-month-old male mice, including matrix breakdown, loss of disc aggrecan, age-related structural changes, and inflammatory markers such as IL-6 and TNFα. These benefits…
