New Paper from LRI's Sharma Lab on Novel Senescent Cell Targeting

This study identifies an aberrant localization of the protein LAMP1 on the surface of senescent cells. Cells that presented LAMP1 on the surface showed clear signs of having a senescent/aged phenotype. The team was able to target LAMP1 on the surface of senescent cells to eliminate them.
