Researchers studying ageing in mice found that declining cellular recycling helps 'zombie cells' evade immune clearance; restoring the process improved their removal and reduced age-related inflammation
- Experiments in mice found that declining CMA affects senescent cells and the macrophages that clear them.
- (Representational photo)Researchers studying ageing in mice have identified a cellular process that may help explain why what are called 'zombie cells' become harder for the body to remove as it gets older.
- The new study led by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and published in Nature Aging, found that a decline in a cellular recycling system affects both these damaged cells and the immune cells responsible for clearing them.
