Study Reveals Why 'Zombie Cells' Persist and Cause Inflammation in Ageing Mice
Researchers found that a decline in chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a cellular recycling process, weakens the immune system's ability to clear 'zombie cells' in ageing mice. This accumulation fuels inflammation and fibrosis. Restoring CMA reduced these effects, suggesting a potential new approach to treating age-related diseases.
