Senescent Cell Depletion Alleviates Obesity-related Metabolic and Cardiac Disorders

Obesity is a major contributor to metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Although senescent cells have been shown to accumulate in adipose tissue, the role of senescence in obesity-induced metabolic disorders and in cardiac dysfunction is not yet clear; therefore, the therapeutic potential of managing senescence in obesity-related metabolic and cardiac disorders remains to be fully defined.
