Abstract

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) may remove inflammatory cytokines and senescence-associated proteins, potentially improving healthspan.

  • Cellular senescence and chronic inflammation are significant factors in aging.
  • The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) contributes to age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
  • Current anti-aging strategies, such as senolytics and SASP inhibitors, have limitations.
  • TPE is proposed to reduce systemic inflammation while replenishing rejuvenating factors.
  • Selective apheresis may enhance treatment precision by targeting specific components of the SASP.
  • These interventions could improve immune function and tissue regeneration.
