When Zombie Cells Attack: How Geroscience is Fighting Back to Extend Healthspan | AFAR and Nathan Shock Centers Webinar (October 8, 2026) It’s not just a ghost story: zombie cells are real and increasing all the time through the process of cellular aging, or cellular senescence. In this webinar presented by AFAR and Nathan Shock Centers Coordinating Center (NSC3), AFAR Scientific Director Steven N. Austad, PhD, moderated a discussion exploring how a deeper understanding of senescent cells could help promote a longer healthspan. Darren J. Baker, PhD, of Mayo Clinic; AFAR Grantee Anthony Covarrubias, PhD, of the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center; and 2018 AFAR Cristofalo Award recipient Laura Niedernhofer, MD, PhD, Co-Director of the Minnesota Nathan Shock Center share insights.
