The field of anti-aging research is constantly evolving, and new discoveries and treatments are being developed all the time. Let’s look at a few of the most recent—and promising—advancements in anti-aging science.

1. Senolytics

Senolytic drugs are effective in treating a known cause of aging and could prevent a broad range of age-related diseases.
They act by destroying senescent cells—damaged cells that have stopped dividing but refuse to die. Senescent cells accumulate with aging at the causal sites of many chronic disorders and diseases. They can excrete a wide variety of potentially harmful or proinflammatory molecules that damage surrounding tissues.
