Senescent cells are cells that have permanently halted their cell cycle ('replicative arrest') but resist apoptosissometimes called 'zombie cells.' They accumulate with age in multiple tissues and secrete a pro-inflammatory cocktail called the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP), containing IL-6, IL-8, MMP-3, MMP-9, TNF-, and other factors that damage surrounding healthy tissue
NAC is readily absorbed and converted to cysteine, which cells then use to produce glutathione
Current areas of scientific investigation include cellular repair signaling studies, connective tissue pathway analysis, extracellular matrix regulation research, copper-dependent signaling investigations, peptide interaction and pathway convergence studies, and multi-peptide coordination research
