Senotherapeutics are therapeutics strategies that target cellular senescence. These strategies can work by killing senescent cells (senolytics), inhibiting the proinflammatory secretory phenotype of senescent cells (senomorphics) or by activating our endogenous senolytic systems (immune surveillance). But what even are senescent cells, how do senolytics work, and what current human clinical trials provide supporting data?
In this video we will begin by discussing what senescent cells are, what causes a cell to become senescent and why targeting senescent cells may provide therapeutic potential for aging and age-related diseases. We will then look at the three main branches of senotherapeutics, senolytics vs. senomorphics and what future work is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these strategies.
So, in many ways you could consider this video my ultimate guide to senotherapeutics! :D

![I do brain training every morning. But should you?
I do brain training every morning. For roughly 5 minutes i do different games that are purported to improve and train my memory, speed, attention, maths, language and problem solving. But do these forms of brain training really work? Will it improve my intelligence or my general daily performance? What about neurodegenerative diseases? Are there alterative, better methods such as exercise, walking, reading or language learning?
Well, i was on the case.
But generally it seems the verdict is no. There is very little evidence to support any benefit of brain-training and there may actually be some negatives. But, given this new insight, will i change my daily habit? Well, youll have to watch to find out. ;)
