Senolytics and Cellular Senescence: Mechanisms, Mayo Clinic Evidence, and Clinical Status
Senolytics are drugs and compounds that selectively clear senescent cells, which accumulate with age and drive chronic inflammation. This review covers the mechanisms, the Mayo Clinic dasatinib+quercetin trials, fisetin evidence, and the current clinical status.

Polyphenol Stack Synergy: Quercetin, Resveratrol, Curcumin, and EGCG Combined Evidence
Quercetin, resveratrol, curcumin, and EGCG activate overlapping pathways — NRF2, SIRT1, AMPK, and NFkB inhibition. Stacking them is popular but evidence for synergistic human benefit is largely extrapolated from in vitro and animal models. This article assesses what stacking adds and what it does not.

Blue Zone Dietary Patterns: What the Longest-Lived Populations Actually Eat
Blue Zone populations (Sardinia, Okinawa, Nicoya, Ikaria, Loma Linda) share dietary patterns centered on whole plant foods, moderate caloric density, and minimal ultra-processed food. Epidemiological data consistently associates these patterns with lower all-cause mortality, though confounding by lifestyle, social, and genetic factors limits causal inference.
