Aging biology is moving fast. New work from @dgsomucla from @ACovarrubiasPhD highlights how “zombie” immune cells (senescent macrophages) in the liver build up with age and drive chronic inflammation. A powerful example of how training, discovery & collaboration are advancing our understanding of aging—and pointing toward new therapies. nature.com/articles/s43587-0…
