Targeting senescence induced by age or chemotherapy with a polyphenol-rich natural extract improves longevity and healthspan in mice

S. Zumerle, M. Sarill, et al.

Discover how *Salvia haenkei* extract (Haenkenium, HK) has been shown to extend lifespan and healthspan in aged mice, while combating age-related inflammation and senescence. This groundbreaking research, led by a team at the Veneto Institute of Molecular Medicine, unveils the promising effects of luteolin in improving muscle strength and fur thickness. Dive into the findings that may change the landscape of aging research!

Abstract
Accumulating senescent cells contribute to aging and age-related diseases. This study shows that a *Salvia haenkei* extract (Haenkenium, HK) extended lifespan and healthspan in aged mice. HK inhibited age-induced inflammation, fibrosis, and senescence markers, improving muscle strength and fur thickness. It also reduced doxorubicin-induced senescence. Luteolin, a flavonoid in HK, disrupted the p16–CDK6 interaction, suggesting a mechanism for senescence inhibition.
