Delaying aging process by selective removal of senescent cells
A recent study, led by an international team of researchers confirms that targeted removal of senescent cells (SnCs), accumulated in many vertebrate tissues as we age, contribute significantly in delaying the onset of age-related pathologies. Credit: Baker et al., Nature This breakthrough research has been led by Dr. Chaekyu Kim and Dr. Ok Hee Jeon.…

Research identifies protein behind side effects of cellular senescence
Cellular senescence is a state in which normal healthy cells do not have the ability to divide. Senescence can occur when cancer-causing genes are activated in normal cells or when chemotherapy is used on cancer cells. Thus, senescence induces a mechanism that halts the growth of rapidly dividing cells. Once thought to only be beneficial…

Genes that control cellular senescence identified
Adapted from press release by Kobe University A research group including Professor Kamada Shinji, Research Fellow Nagano Taiki (both from the Kobe University Biosignal Research Center), and Unit Chief Enari Masato (National Cancer Research Institute) has succeeded in identifying genes that control cellular senescence – permanently arrested cell growth. The process involved treating liver cancer…
