The team is going to study the combination of three senolytic drugs &#8211; Dasatinib, Venetoclax, and Quercetin &#8211; in mice, to see if the removal of senescent cells can ensure extended maximum lifespan. With highly devoted scientists and volunteers working for MMTP, the project needs only $60,000 to begin this experiment, as the researchers would need only to buy the mice and pay for their housing, the substances to test, and the battery of tests to analyze health changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Will you help to fund this research?
