Invariant natural killer T cells coordinate removal of senescent cells
Failure of endogenous immune surveillance mechanisms to remove senescent cells drives the progression of diseases. The identity of the endogenous immune surveillance that mediated senescent cell clearance in vivo is not clear. This paper describes how lipid antigen presentation to activate iNKT cells can constitute an endogenous surveillance system that can be manipulated to clear senescent cells in disease models.

How Long Can We Live? In 1990, not long after Jean-Marie Robine and Michel Allard began conducting a nationwide study of French centenarians, one of their software programs spat out an error message. An individual in the study was marked as 115 years old, a number outside the program’s range of acceptable age values. They called their collaborators in Arles, ... - Nov 2020
Send in the Senolytics Despite early failures in the clinic, the idea of anti-aging therapies that purge the body of dying cells is gaining traction with a raft of startups now focused on senescence. Unity Biotechnology was one of the darlings of the nascent anti-aging biotech sector. With big-name investors, such as Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel, an impressive lineup ...
