New research shows 44 senescence-related proteins are involved with blood clotting (which includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). This may be helpful in chemotherapy, where blood clotting is a concern.

CD8 T cells (immune cells that fight infection and cancer) are influenced by our biological clocks. T cells react differently to foreign substances at different times of the day, based on circadian rhythm.

Glial cells are brain support cells that can be turned into neurons by gene therapy, repairing damage after strokes in mice. This can regenerate neurons and may be a new way to treat stroke.

When cells compensate for low energy production, this can become maladaptive and result in reduced mitochondrial function and memory. This maladaptive progress can lead to Alzheimer's disease progression.
