Senotherapy

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Senotherapy is an early-stage basic research field for development of possible therapeutic agents and strategies to specifically target cellular senescence,[1] an altered cell state associated with ageing and age-related diseases. The name derives from intent of the proposed anti-aging drug to halt "senescence".[1] As of 2019, much of the research remains preliminary and there are no drugs approved for this purpose.

Types[edit]

Senotherapeutics include:

  • Senolytics – small molecules that specifically induce cell death in senescent cells,[15][16] targeting survival pathways and anti-apoptotic mechanisms,[17] antibodies and antibody-mediated drug delivery medications. Unlike SASP inhibitors, senolytics can be effective by intermittent rather than continuous application.[18]
  • Senomorphics – small molecules that suppress senescent phenotypes without cell killing[19]
  • Gene therapy strategies – edit the genes of the cells of an organism in order to increase their resistance to aging, senile diseases and to prolong the life of the organism[3][20]
