"acts as a smart bomb able to recognize specific proteins on the surface of these aged or senescent cells. It then attaches itself to them and releases a drug that removes them without affecting the rest, thus minimizing any potential side effects... Treatment could start to be given as soon as the first symptoms... such as Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's, arthritis, cataracts or some tumours, appear... researchers believe that it could even be used to achieve healthier ageing in some circumstances"
