An in vivo screening platform identifies senolytic compounds that target p16INK4a+ fibroblasts in lung fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

The appearance of senescent cells in age-related diseases has spurred the search for compounds that can target senescent cells in tissues, termed senolytics. However, a major caveat with current senolytic screens is the use of cell lines as targets where senescence is induced in vitro, which does not necessarily reflect the identity and function of pathogenic senescent cells in vivo. Here, we developed a new...
