Zombie Cells Skin

Are ‘zombie’ skin cells harmful or helpful?

May 1, 2025 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation and promoting diseases while also helping the immune system to heal wounds. New findings may explain why: Not all senescent skin cells are the same. Researchers from Johns … [Read more...]
