Key points from article :
University of Exeter targeted splicing factors within the mitochondria.
Used samples of endothelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels.
Team designed novel chemicals that targeted either SRSF2 or HNRNPD.
Compounds delivered a minute dose of hydrogen sulfide gas to mitochondria.
Gas fires up the splicing factors, giving mitochondria a boost.
Senescent cells in the sample dropped by an impressive 50 percent.
The study was published in journal Aging.
