Researchers Uncover Mechanism of Aging Spread Through the Bloodstream

Researchers discovered that a redox-sensitive form of the protein HMGB1 circulates in the blood and spreads cellular senescence to distant tissues. This process contributes to age-related decline and could be targeted therapeutically.
