Scientists at UCSF are learning how immune cells naturally clear the body of defunct – or senescent – cells that contribute to aging and many chronic diseases
For patients who can utilize the technology, particularly for follow-up care after a diagnosis has already been made, the benefits of telehealth are overwhelming.
