Senolytic Agent Potential

Meaning

Senolytic Agent Potential refers to the therapeutic capacity of a compound or intervention to selectively induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in senescent cells—cells that have stopped dividing but remain metabolically active and secrete pro-inflammatory factors. The clinical objective of harnessing this potential is to clear these dysfunctional cells, thereby reducing the burden of chronic inflammation and mitigating a key driver of aging and age-related disease. This represents a targeted strategy for cellular rejuvenation.
