Research area
Senolytics & Longevity Research
Cellular senescence, mitochondrial function and NAD+ metabolism are among the most active areas of ageing biology. This section brings together plain-English summaries of the published literature, a glossary of key terms, and the research compounds we supply for laboratory work in this field, with links to their Certificates of Analysis.

Why this research area matters to laboratories
Over the past decade, researchers have described a set of recurring biological changes associated with ageing, sometimes called the “hallmarks of ageing”. They include the accumulation of senescent cells, mitochondrial dysfunction, altered nutrient sensing and telomere attrition [1]. Senescent cells have been characterised in cell culture and in animal tissues, and the field has worked to agree common definitions and markers [2].
These topics are studied with a wide range of tools: cell culture models, rodent models, biochemical assays and analytical chemistry. The pages in this section summarise what has been reported in the peer-reviewed literature, state the model used in each study, and link to the original sources so readers can assess the evidence for themselves.

Common questions
Do you sell senolytic drugs such as dasatinib, quercetin or fisetin?
No. These compounds are discussed in our articles as background to the published literature only. They are not sold by Corex Vitality™.
Are these products for human use?
No. All Corex Vitality™ products are supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. They are not for human or veterinary use, and we do not provide administration, protocol or usage guidance.
Why do some products have a longer delivery time?
Epitalon, MOTS-c, SS-31 and FOXO4-DRI are made to order. Please allow 14–16 days in total, including delivery.
Where do your references come from?
Every science article cites peer-reviewed publications with links to PubMed or the publisher (DOI), so you can read the original study.
