    AI: Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have developed a new anti-aging therapy for mice. This CAR T cell-based therapy allows them to age more slowly and maintain better health into old age, which could lead to improved animal welfare. The therapy is aimed at destroying so-called “zombie cells” that accumulate with age and release toxins that damage surrounding tissue. Experiments showed that mice treated with senolytic CAR T cells had lower blood sugar levels and a better response to insulin. However, before a person uses therapy, additional studies must be conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
