Role of senescent cells in Covid-19

https://www.youtube....eature=emb_logo

 

Basically this video says that the surface proteins the COVID-19 virus is docking on are over-expressed as a result of cellular senescence.

If so, what can we do about it? Of course reducing the number of senescent cells would be great but that we cannot do all that well with current technology. Anything we can do to reduce the expression of these surface proteins until the VOVID situation calms down some?

You could try nilotinib which is a prescription senokytic.  Life extension has a senescence cell product with black tea and quercetin as active ingredients.  May be prudent to try that in anticipation.

Turnbuckle believes that senolytic use may actually be harmful to those already infected with coronavirus. Senolytics cause cell apoptosis which, if infected with virii, will facilitate the spread through out the body. Having direct personal experience with this back in January, I find this very credible and should be kept in mind.

 

This is why I "walked back" on my previous posting in the next thread.
