Senolytic Action refers to the ability to eliminate senescent cells, also known as "zombie cells." These are aged cells that have stopped dividing but do not die, accumulating in tissues and contributing to aging and organ dysfunction. These cells can release inflammatory signals that damage nearby cells and degrade the extracellular matrix.
Benefits of Senolytic Action:
1. Removal of Damaged Cells:** Eliminating senescent cells helps reduce chronic inflammation and tissue damage, promoting a healthier cellular environment.
2. Cellular Regeneration:** By removing these cells, senolytic action facilitates the regeneration of new, healthy cells, improving the skin's appearance and function.
3. Aging Prevention:** Reducing the burden of senescent cells can slow down the aging process and improve tissue longevity.
Senomorphic Action
Senomorphic action,** on the other hand, does not eliminate senescent cells but modifies their behavior to make them less harmful. This approach reprograms senescent cells so that they stop releasing inflammatory signals and degrading the extracellular matrix.
