senolytics

Senolytics are a class of small-molecule drugs and natural compounds designed to selectively induce death in senescent cells ("zombie cells") that accumulate with age and cause tissue dysfunction. By clearing these cells, senolytics aim to delay, prevent, or treat age-related diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, potentially extending human healthspan.
