Senescent Cells and Senolytics Explained Simply
Zombie cells build up with age and sustain inflammation: what senolytics are, what is proven in mice and in humans, and why self-treating with them is a bad idea.
How biological age is measured: epigenetic clocks, blood markers, telomeres, and how to read your own results.

Inflammaging is the low-grade inflammation that builds with age and tracks with heart disease, diabetes and dementia: where it comes from and what lowers it.
The core blood tests for aging are blood pressure, glucose and HbA1c, a lipid panel and waist circumference — read as a trend, not as one isolated number.
Telomeres shorten with age, but no pill lengthens them and activating telomerase carries a cancer risk. Here is what genuinely affects them.
Epigenetic clocks read DNA methylation to estimate age: how the Horvath, Hannum, GrimAge and DunedinPACE generations differ, and what a result actually means.
Biological age estimates how worn your body really is, unlike the number of birthdays you have had, and it is measured with epigenetic clocks, blood-based scores and functional tests.
