Up to now available senescence detecting biomarkers have very limited and burdensome application. Therefore, a more effective, precise and easy-to-use biomarker would have considerable benefits for research and clinical practice.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manchester.ac.uk\/discover\/news\/new-method-to-detect-ageing-cells--and-aid-rejuvenation-therapies---developed-by-researchers\">http:\/\/www.manchester.ac.uk\/discover\/news\/new-method-to-dete...esearchers<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great new biomarker for senescent cells is available and will allow researchers to more measure levels of aged cells easier and faster.
