Could removing damaged cells help us age better and reduce the risk of age-related diseases? In this episode, Ben Hopkins sits down with researcher **Juliette Taverner** to explore the science of cellular senescence, senolytics, and the potential of compounds like fisetin in the field of longevity research. As we age, some damaged cells stop dividing but remain active, releasing inflammatory signals that can affect surrounding tissues. These are known as *senescent cells*, sometimes nicknamed “zombie cells”. Scientists are investigating whether senolytics, compounds designed to selectively eliminate these cells, could help reduce their harmful effects and improve heal...
