Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

Cellular senescence—an irreversible cell-cycle arrest coupled with the production of pro-inflammatory secretions known as SASP—is now viewed as a central driver of musculoskeletal aging. Accumulation ...

Our body has evolved to harbour senescent cells for a number of reasons – they’re involved in everything from childbirth to wound healing - iStockphoto At last year’s British Society for Research on ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet two decades have gone by since cell biologist Judith Campisi, Ph.D., paradoxically demonstrated ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...

A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto (Department of Life Science Frontiers) and Professor Yasuhiro Yamada at the University of Tokyo has developed a novel in vivo system that reveals how ...
