Anti-aging drug screening platform based on double fluorescein particles

Aging is a process that the structure, functions and various physiological systems of an organism gradually decline after the organism experiences long-term physiological and metabolic activities, and is closely related to various chronic diseases and degenerative diseases. The aging process usually accompanies the phenomena of cell cycle stagnation, DNA damage, telomere shortening and the like. Existing senescence detection methods such as SA-beta-gal staining method, gene expression analysis and the like can provide certain senescence marker detection, but have limitations in the aspects of monitoring the senescence process in real time and capturing dynamic cell changes. Therefore, the development of an efficient, sensitive and real-time senescence detection technology is particularly important.
