Breakthrough in Detecting “Zombie” Cells Linked to Aging and Diseases
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have made a groundbreaking discovery using aptamers, tiny DNA molecules that can selectively tag senescent cells, also known as “zombie cells.” These cells stop multiplying but fail to clear themselves from the body, contributing to various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and aging. The team identified rare aptamers capable of binding … Read more
