Since we just spent the weekend feeling spooky, let's learn more about "zombie cells". By definition, "zombie cells" are damaged cells that emit harmful substances rather than being cleared by the immune system. ow.ly/RnXO5103oWJ #zombiecells
'Zombie cells' may drive aging, and scientists are devising new ways to get rid of them

'Zombie cells' may drive aging, and scientists are devising new ways to get rid of them

Immune cells that clear old and dying cells get sluggish with age. Scientists think that rejuvenating these cells could help combat aging.
