The Emerging Role of Senolytics as a Next-Generation Strategy Against Glioma Recurrence: A Narrative Review
family inhibitor Navitoclax, and natural bioactive compounds such as Quercetin and Fisetin. The analysis focuses on the molecular mechanisms through which these agents disrupt anti-apoptotic pathways (SCAPs) and inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis, restoring sensitivity to apoptosis. We propose that the integration of senolytic adjuvants into standard clinical protocols may represent a crucial frontier for eliminating residual disease reservoirs and we also suggest the possibility of combining them with molecules with neuroprotective action to significantly improve the prognosis in GBM.
