  1. Natural killer cells decrease cellular senescence in cells.

    “NK cell treatment also significantly decreased levels of senescence markers and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) in three senescent adipose tissues when culturing them together.”

  2. Natural killer cells decrease cellular senescence in humans.

    “we observed the downregulation of senescence-related genes by adoptive infusion of natural killer (NK) cells in 26 cases in peripheral blood CD3+ T cells.”
