SIWA claims to have found a marker that’s on cancer cells and senescent cells because of the way the markers are produced, and therefore the monoclonal antibody can enable removal of those senescent or cancer cells.

Their presence causes many problems: they degrade tissue function, increase chronic inflammation, and can even eventually raise the risk of cancer and other age-related ...
