مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا —مع تقدم السن، يمكن أن تتعرض الخلايا للشَيخُوخَة، وهي حالة تتوقف فيها عن النمو ولكنها تستمر في إطلاق جزيئات التهابية وجزيئات مدمرة للأنسجة. عندما يكون الشخص صغيرًا في السن، يستجيب الجهاز المناعي ويطرح الخلايا الهَرِمة، والتي يشار إليها غالبًا باسم الخلايا الزُومبيّ. ومع ذلك، تبقى خلايا الزُومبيّ باقية وتساهم في العديد من المشاكل والأمراض الصحية المرتبطة بالعمر. سلط الباحثون في مايو كلينك، في دراستين، الضوء على بَيولُوجْيا خلايا الشَيخُوخَة.

Con la edad, las células pueden experimentar senescencia, un estado en el que dejan de crecer, pero continúan liberando moléculas inflamatorias que degradan los tejidos. Cuando una persona es joven, el sistema inmunitario responde y elimina las células senescentes, a menudo llamadas células zombis. Sin embargo, las células zombis persisten y contribuyen a varios problemas de salud y enfermedades que se asocian con la edad. En dos estudios, los investigadores de Mayo Clinic explicaron la biología de las células que envejecen.
