<h2>About the episode:</h2>
<p>In this episode, renowned aging researcher Dr. James L. Kirkland discusses cutting-edge research on cellular senescence and senolytics in aging. He explains how senescent cells accumulate over time, accelerating aging and contributing to age-related diseases. Dr. Kirkland highlights the potential of senolytic drugs to selectively eliminate these cells, potentially delaying or preventing age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis, Alzheimer&#39;s disease, and even the impact of coronavirus infections. The episode explores challenges with senolytic therapies and how senolytic research could extend healthspan and potentially address the societal challenges of an aging population.</p>
