SARS-CoV-2 protein induces the SASP phenotype

This video explains how spike proteins in infected cells cause irreversible damage, leading to the release of harmful cytokines like TNF-alpha and interleukin-6, which are prominent in long COVID. The speaker emphasizes the effectiveness of senolytics in selectively eliminating these damaged cells, with early tests showing a rapid release of spike proteins into the bloodstream after treatment.
