Nehlin, Chapter 7: Senolytic and senomorphic interventions to defy senescence-associated mitochondrial dysfunction, Ufuk Çakatay, Mehmet Can Atayik (editors), Advances in Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology, Volume 135, Elsevier (Academic Press), page 224, Senolytics are compounds that target selectively senescent cells and induce their lysis, a process known as senolysis. Senescent cells are resistant to apoptosis because they have an increase[d] expression of pro-survival networks.
