Drugs That Remove ‘Zombie Cells’ In Our Body & Could Let Humans Live To 200 Is Now Being Developed

A British scientist has said new drugs that remove ‘zombie cells’ in our bodies could let humans live to the age of 200.

Dr Andrew Steele, a British computational biologist, recently authored a new book on longevity and has said new advances in senolytics – drugs that focus on the destruction of cells that degrade tissue function – could extend our lifespans.

Dr Steele explained: “I don’t think there is any kind of absolute cap on how long we can live.”

Dr Steele said: “Studies come out every few years that propose some kind of fundamental limit on human lifespan, but they’re always missing one crucial piece: we’ve never tried treating the ageing process before.”

He added: “I can’t see a physical or biological reason why people couldn’t live to 200 — the challenge is whether we can develop the biomedical science to make it possible.”

Dr Steele pointed to advances in senolytics, which target senescent or ‘zombie’ cells that stop dividing, accumulate and then release compounds into our bodies that accelerate ageing.
