Exploiting a new weakness in ‘zombie-like’ cells to treat senescence-associated diseases
A new set of drugs exploit a recently-revealed weakness in ‘zombie-like’ – or senescent – cells that could lead to new treatments for cancer and age-associated diseases. The study from the…
Cancer-linked mutations in the brain cells may drive Alzheimer’s disease
