Aging of the hematopoietic system impairs hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function and alters bone marrow niche behavior, increasing susceptibility to anemia, infections, and hematologic malignancies. Here, pharmacologic clearance of senescent cells with the PROTAC compound 753b simultaneously targeting BCL-xL and BCL-2 reverses key secretory, transcriptional, and functional hallmarks of hematopoietic aging with low toxicity, restoring balanced lineage output. Single-cell RNA sequencing further demonstrates that 753b treatment attenuates aging-associated transcriptional signatures in HSCs, while selectively eliminating senescent, pro-survival niche cells without grossly perturbing niche composition. Functionally, 753b suppresses pro-inflammatory cues from both niche and hematopoietic cells including those emanating from neutrophil progenitors, rebalancing global bone marrow secretory ecosystem across stromal and hematopoietic compartments. Collectively, we identify 753b-induced senescent cell clearance as a powerful strategy to rejuvenate aged hematopoiesis and re-establish homeostatic communication between HSCs and their microenvironment, with implications for mitigating age-related hematologic dysfunction and improving hematologic health in older individuals.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
