Dasatinib and quercetin used in combination clears a fraction of lingering senescent cells in aging mice, producing a sizable degree of rejuvenation, and reversal of aspects of many different age-related conditions. In humans, clinical trials are underway at a sedate pace. Dasatinib is a chemotherapeutic small molecule, while quercetin is a plant extract flavonol. Here, researchers discuss their search for plant extract alternatives that mimic the effects of dasatinib, in the hopes of produ…
