How Exosomes Spread Aging Signals and Could Support Anti-Aging Research
As the global population grows older, understanding what drives the aging process is becoming increasingly important. Diseases like Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer are more common with age, yet many current treatments only manage symptoms rather than addressing the underlying biological causes. One contributor to aging is the buildup of “senescent” cells—cells that have stopped dividing but do not die. These cells can harm nearby tissues by releasing molecular signals, a process known as secondary senescence. Scientists have found that senescent cells release tiny particles…
