Directed elimination of senescent cells by inhibition of BCL-W and BCL-XL
The accumulation of senescent cells within tissues plays a role in numerous age-related pathologies. Yosef and Pilpel et al. demonstrate that the resistance of these cells to apoptosis is driven by upregulation of survival proteins, whose pharmacological inhibition triggers senescent cell eliminatio...
