Boo-st Your Barrier: Zombie Cells, Inflammaging & the PROAging Approach
There may be something lurking beneath the surface of aging skin, and it is more alive than you might think.
Often nicknamed “zombie cells,” senescent cells remain metabolically active but have permanently stopped dividing. While cellular senescence is a natural biological process, the accumulation of senescent cells over time can influence the surrounding environment, contributing to inflammatory signaling and some of the visible characteristics we associate with skin aging.
