Cellular senescence is an irreversible cell growth arrest state linked to loss of tissue function and aging in mammals. The cellular transition from proliferation to senescence is marked by increased
Human ageing is associated with gradual loss of tissue and organ function, with consequent frailty and illness leading to poor quality of later life for many older people. It is thought to result from
Sustained macroautophagy/autophagy favors the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. Cellular senescence, another means of responding to long-term cellular stress, has also been linked to
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) engenders stenotic-kidney ischemia, dysfunction, and injury, but whether these are mediated by cellular senescence has not been elucidated. Using INK-ATTAC transgenic mice,
