Senolytics
Intervention6 papers7 findings
In a human trial, dasatinib plus quercetin reduces liver cellular senescence and improves fibrotic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Other senolytics clear senescent cells in mice and zebrafish, reduce pathogenic CD4+ T cells in mice, and reviews describe fisetin lowering chronic human inflammation.
