I learned that senescent cells are cells that stop dividing and they can clog up tissue in the body and impair the function of the healthy cells.
"Senescent cells normally destroy themselves via a programmed process called apoptosis and they are also removed by the immune system; however, the immune system weakens with age, and increasing numbers of these senescent cells escape this process and build up." -- https://www.leafscience.org/foxo4/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Removing senescent cells reverses the biological age of the tissue I heard mentioned by an expert in a video. Not tested in humans yet as far as I know, but I think the same is the case for humans.
"Our results demonstrate that selective clearance of SCs [senescent cells] by a pharmacological agent is beneficial in part through its rejuvenation of aged tissue stem cells." -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26657143" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It seems that it's basically enough to remove the excess of senescent cells to reverse the biological aging of the body. And the senescent cells are precisely the kind of junk cells, among other damaged or dysfunctional cells, that the body starts eating during fasting.
