Mayo Clinic scientists have uncovered surprising new insights into “zombie cells,” aging cells that linger in the body and contribute to inflammation and disease.
Seven studies reveal why these cells are harmful and identify new strategies for targeting them, including a natural compound found in tomatoes.
The findings could open the door to therapies that combat some of the biological processes behind aging.
