In this short commentary on omics analysis of the aging retina, researchers make the point that the evidence suggests the use of senolytic therapies to prevent or slow the development of age-related macular degeneration. This condition is associated with an increased burden of senescent cells in the retina and nearby tissues. When present over the long term, the mix of signals secreted by senescent cells induce inflammation, maladaptive tissue remode…
