Early Cancer Cells Change Their Surroundings to Form Tumors

Scientists have demonstrated how cancer cells influence neighboring cells to create a favorable niche for the tumor to grow. This can inform future early-stage cancer therapies [1]. Cancer is a disease of aging. With the exception of childhood cancers, most of which stem from inherited genetic errors, adult cancers tend to occur later in life....

A Popular Senolytic Treatment Causes Brain Damage in Mice

A new study calls for caution in using the well-known senolytic treatment of dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q), showing that it causes damage in certain regions of the brain, similar to what is observed in multiple sclerosis [1]. Stem cell senescence prevents brain repair Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a brain disorder in which the patient’s own...
