University of Minnesota, Mayo report COVID-fighting success with anti-aging therapy
Excerpt:
...Survival increased in mice with COVID-like illnesses when they received drugs that removed senescent cells — sometimes called “retirement” or “zombie” cells that no longer divide or grow, but persist in the body, according to research published Tuesday by Mayo and U researchers in the journal Science.
While success in mice doesn’t guarantee success in people, the results give the researchers confidence as they proceed with two human clinical trials in which they remove senescent cells from COVID-19 patients using high doses of the supplement fisetin.
