In human trials, dasatinib plus quercetin decreases cellular senescence in fibrotic liver tissue. Multiple interventions, including exercise, rapamycin, and specific small molecules, reduce senescence across rodent models and human or vertebrate cells, whilst metabolic and inflammatory stressors induce it.
