New Peer-Reviewed Paper from SENS Research Foundation Researchers Reveals Tools to Harness Immune Cells to Seek and Destroy Senescent Cells

We are proud to announce the recent publication by Sharma lab/ApoptoSENS team in the journal Cells describing the role and controversies involving the aging of Natural Killer (NK) cells and age-related NK cell dysfunction. This review focuses on recent advances and open questions in understanding the interplay between systemic inflammation, senescence burden, and NK cell dysfunction in the context of aging and potential therapies for age-related diseases.

Engineering Mitochondrial Genes into the Nucleus to Restore Mitochondrial Function

Part of: AmyloSENS ApoptoSENS GlycoSENS LysoSENS MitoSENS OncoSENS RepleniSENS Research Info Team Members Publications Photos Funding Research Info Team Members Publications Photos Funding Mitochondria perform and support several vital functions in a cell, and the alternate genome, mtDNA, plays a critical role in organelle maintenance. There is increasing evidence that mitochondrial function declines with age, …

Enhancing Innate Immune Surveillance of Senescent Cells

Part of: AmyloSENS ApoptoSENS GlycoSENS LysoSENS MitoSENS OncoSENS RepleniSENS Research Info Team Members Publications Resources Photos Funding Research Info Team Members Publications Resources Photos Funding When normal cells lose their ability to replicate, they become senescent cells. Over time, senescent cells accumulate in aging tissues, spewing off a cocktail of inflammatory and growth factors, as well as …
