It’s bad enough that we lose cells with age. Adding insult to injury, our remaining cells can go rogue and start attacking or interfering with the healthy cells around them. These senescent cells throw a kind of cellular emergency brake on themselves when they suffer damage. Like some cars after a crash, their car alarm (in this case, inflammatory and other immune signals) goes off and won’t stop, which drives the whole neighborhood crazy! In the presence of blaring signaling from such abnormal cells, normal cells can’t do their job, which robs us of our health as our tissues become increasingly dysfunctional.

It’s these and other rogue cells that ApoptoSENS targets for termination — with extreme prejudice! We already have seen from animal models that destroying abnormal cells causes a dramatic rejuvenation of old mice and can prevent and even reverse diseases of aging. Support ApoptoSENS so we can do the same for aging humans!
