Abstract

Accumulation of senescent cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis and might be therapeutically targeted using senolytic agents. A recent first-in-human open-label trial of senolytic therapy using dasatinib plus quercetin (DQ) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) revealed that functional clinical improvement was associated with reduced levels of circulating proteins, microRNAs, and cytokines related to senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) (1).
