Although glutathione (GSH) is produced by the body, its levels can be depleted in response to protein malnutrition, oxidative stress, aging, and several other adverse health conditions
Copper is a required cofactor for lysyl oxidase (connective-tissue crosslinking), for superoxide dismutase (antioxidant defense), and for enzymes that support angiogenesis, so a molecule that delivers copper in a controlled, cell-usable form has a coherent reason to influence tissue remodeling and vascular biology
A study called DAPA-CKD (dapagliflozin in patients with CKD) and EMPA-KIDNEY (empagliflozin in patients with CKD) found that dapagliflozin and empagliflozin help patients with and without T2D by protecting the kidneys (284, 285) (Figure 1)

For senolytic siRNA screening, SK-MEL-103 cells were first plated in 10-cm dishes (Supplementary Table 9)
Periocular or intravitreal injection (not standard practice) Direct ocular injection: Theoretically most effective delivery achieving high local concentrations
