  • Vascular aging is the primary cause of human mortality, giving rise to atherosclerosis , the formation of fatty plaques that narrow vessels and eventually rupture to produce a fatal blockage and thus a heart attack or stroke.
  • Of the hallmarks, study of the age-related accumulation of senescent cells is perhaps the most well advanced when it comes to the construction of therapies and preclinical evidence for rejuvenation following treatment.
