Why Knee Surgery Doesn't Fix Everything: The "Zombie Cell" Trap 084
from Supplements Podcast By RevGenetics Hosted by RevGenetics
In this episode of The Deep Dive, supported by RevGenetics, Les and Amy unpack the long-term impact of knee ligament injuries, revealing why muscle weakness and joint deterioration often persist long after surgery. They explore the role of "zombie cells"—damaged senescent cells that refuse to die and actively disrupt the body’s natural healing process. By triggering muscle atrophy and cartilage breakdown, these cells create a hidden bottleneck in recovery and accelerate the onset of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Join us as we examine the biological mechanisms behind post-injury degeneration and how targeting senescent cells could revolutionize rehab and recovery outcomes for knee injuries.
