Cellular senescence: when bad things happen to good cells
Cells continually experience stress and damage from exogenous and endogenous sources, and their responses range from complete recovery to cell death.
Cells continually experience stress and damage from exogenous and endogenous sources, and their responses range from complete recovery to cell death.
Senescent cells (SCs) accumulate with age and after genotoxic stress, such as total-body irradiation (TBI).
Cellular senescence, a stress-induced irreversible growth arrest often characterized by expression of p16(Ink4a) (encoded by the Ink4a/Arf locus, also known as Cdkn2a) and a distinctive secretory phenotype, prevents the prolife
