Where this comes from

Abstract

Amor and colleagues previously developed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that can target and eliminate senescent cells. The utility of these senolytic CAR T cells is now expanded to show that they can combat age-related metabolic dysfunction, and that they can be used prophylactically and have effects that persist for months, thus opening the door to the development of long-term senolytic approaches.
