Senolytic effects of quercetin in an in vitro model of pre-adipocytes and adipocytes induced senescence

Abstract The dysfunction of adipose tissue with aging and the accumulation of senescent cells has been implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic diseases. Recently interventions capable of reducing the burden of senescent cells and in particular the identification of a new class of drugs termed s...
