DEL-1 is a natural protein that may reduce bone loss linked to aging cells

Updated

Abstract

Essence

DEL-1 functions as a secreted senolytic signal that may limit senescent stromal cells and senescence-associated bone loss.

Evidence

This preclinical cell and mouse study examined DEL-1 in senescent BM-MSCs, DEL-1-deficient and endothelial-overexpression mice, CD73-deficient models, and DEL-1 or macrolide treatment.

Caveat

The evidence is mechanistic and animal-based, with no human clinical test showing DEL-1 prevents senescence-associated bone loss.
