Mayo Clinic discovers new ways to fight the “zombie” cells that drive aging
Mayo Clinic scientists have uncovered surprising new insights into “zombie cells,” aging cells that linger in the body and contribute to inflammation and disease. Seven studies reveal why these cells are harmful and identify new strategies for targeting them, including a natural compound found in tomatoes. In aging mice, experimental treatments reduced inflammation and improved physical and brain health. The findings could open the door to therapies that combat some of the biological processes behind aging.

Common drugs may help dangerous viruses spread through the body
A surprising discovery reveals that widely used anti-inflammatory drugs may unintentionally help dangerous viruses spread through the body.

By suppressing genes that normally fight viruses, these medications may leave patients more vulnerable to infection.
