A new study explores the potential of necrosis, a form of cell death, to reshape our understanding and treatment of age-related conditions.

By age 75, nearly half of all individuals develop some degree of kidney disease as part of the natural aging process.

If we can target necrosis we could unlock entirely new ways to treat conditions ranging from kidney failure to cardiac disease, neurodegeneration.

The paper is a collaborative effort by clinicians and scientists from institutions including UCL Division of Medicine , Harvard Medical School -affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital , Mayo Clinic , and NASA Space-Health program.

Dr. Kern : "If we could prevent necrosis, even temporarily, we would be shutting down these destructive cycles at their source".
