The goal here is to address one root cause of age-related health problems by targeting the accumulation of senescent cells. By using senolytics, researchers aim to promote healthier aging and possibly extend the period of life characterized by good health.

Phenotypic aging is how we age. It’s how all the characteristics of aging show up. I review a study that breaks it down into four phenotypic domains with a set of associated functional outcomes — all of which decline as we get older, unless you do something about it.
