Resveratrol Prevents Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Senescence

Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenolic compound with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-senescence and antitumor effects.  A new study investigated the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on cigarette smoke (CS)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and cellular senescence in mice.   Thirty-two male mice were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (N), the resveratrol group (RSV), the emphysema […]

Fisetin Effectively Eliminates Senescent Cells and Restores Stem Cells

Fisetin is a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables and has been shown to have powerful senolytic properties.  In a new study, fisetin was shown to prevent immune cells from becoming senescent, allowing them to enter into a state of apoptosis or cellular suicide, a normal process at the end of a cell’s life cycle.
