How This Cell Clears the Roots of Aging

Dr. Amit Sharma explains how NK cells can be engineered or transplanted to clear senescent cells and how this compares to senolytics like quercetin.

In this second segment, Dr. Sharma walks through the cutting-edge therapies his lab is working on; from transplanting healthy NK cells into older individuals, to engineering CAR-NK cells that can precisely target senescent cells. He also compares these immune-based approaches to existing senolytics like dasatinib and quercetin, explaining where each has advantages and limitations. He also reveals early work on a new small molecule approach targeting a unique vulnerability of senescent cells, their unusual relationship with iron and ferroptosis, and explains how the Lifespan Research Institute moves research from the lab toward the clinic. 🔬 Topics covered: - Adoptive transfer of NK cells: transplanting healthy immune cells to clear senescence - CAR-NK cells: engineering immune cells to precisely target senescent cells - Antibody-based approaches to enhance NK cell killing - Off-the-shelf NK cell therapies: how close are we? - How immune approaches compare to senolytics like dasatinib and quercetin - The senescence heterogeneity problem and why immune cells may solve it - New small molecule approaches targeting ferroptosis in senescent cells - How Lifespan Research Institute translates research toward the clinic ▶️ This is Part 2 of my full interview with Dr. Sharma.
