Senolytics are the first therapies that directly target the aging process to delay or prevent age-related diseases and are now in human trials. Today we thought it was the ideal time to have a look at how they work and the companies involved.
Senescent cells and aging

Almost like Columbia: Two crew members dodge death by an inch in botched Russian space launch
Posted by Alberto Lao in category: space
Today’s launch abort was the first ever failure of the Soyuz FG launch vehicle, since it started in service in 2001.
A botched launch of the Russian spaceship Soyuz narrowly avoided becoming the latest fatal space incident on Thursday. Rescue systems managed to save the lives of two crew members and conduct an emergency landing.

Moons can have moons and they are called moonmoons
Posted by Michael Lance in category: space
If a moon is big enough and far enough from its planet, it can host its own smaller moon, called a ‘moonmoon’ — and four worlds in our solar system fit the bill.
A Russian Soyuz rocket malfunctioned during lift-off to the International Space Station.

Cellular Senescence — Why we Age
Posted by Steve Hill in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
As we get older, more and more of our the cells in our bodies become dysfunctional and enter into a state known as senescence. These senescent cells no longer divide or support the tissues and organs of which they are part; instead, they secrete a range of harmful inflammatory chemical signals, which are known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
