New method tracks aging-related cells
Researchers have developed a non-invasive technique based on Raman microscopy to analyze age-related cells, particularly senescent cells that cease to divide but do not die. These cells are associated with age-related diseases such as cancer and tissue degeneration. This method allows for the identification of unique chemical and genetic "signatures" of senescent cells without destroying them, paving the way for tools capable of detecting these cells within the body using advanced techniques like endoscopy. The research aims to understand their roles in aging, with the future potential to diagnose and monitor infections and diseases linked to aging. This work complements the "Cellular Senescence Network" initiative by the US National Institutes of Health.
