Senolytic Therapy Enabled by Senescent Cell‐Sensitive Biomimetic Melanin Nano‐Senolytics

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 23, September 13, 2024.
A “double lock and key” switchable nanoplatform that responds to senescent cells is developed. The release of dasatinib and quercetin within senescent cells is opened by the activation of β‐galactosidase, low pH, and photothermal therapy, thereby selectively killing senescent cells. This approach has been shown to reverse pulmonary fibrosis and prevent
