Pathogenic modulators of cellular senescence.

Cellular senescence is characterized by irreversible cell-cycle arrest, with cells remaining viable and metabolically active. This state features a proinflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that can harm neighboring tissues. Accumulation of senescent cells accelerates age-related physiological de...

From RNAi to single-cell CRISPR: Evolving functional screening in aging and cancer

It is proposed that integrating precise editing, in vivo screening, single-cell multi-omics, and emerging artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted design may provide information and a design basis for future combined strategies that simultaneously target vulnerabilities in senescent cells and malignant populations.

Cellular senescence and inflammageing: from mechanisms to senotherapeutic interventions

Improved molecular, spatial and functional resolution of senescent states will be essential for developing biomarker-guided and tissue-specific interventions that preserve the beneficial functions of transient senescence while limiting its chronic deleterious effects.

Context-Dependent Roles of p53 in Cellular Senescence and Fibrosis.

Cellular senescence is an irreversible growth arrest state and a hallmark of organismal aging. While induction of cellular senescence in healthy organs is undesirable, senescence of specific cell types can be beneficial in certain pathological milieus. For instance, the senescence of activated myofibroblasts helps to l...

Mitochondrial regulation of cellular senescence heterogeneity

Cellular senescence is a stable cell-cycle arrest program accompanied by extensive metabolic remodeling and acquisition of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Emerging evidence indicates that senescence is not a uniform endpoint but a heterogeneous spectrum of cell states shaped by the nature of the ini...

Interconnected roles of cellular senescence and the immune microenvironment in tumor progression: from pan-cancer mechanisms to glioblastoma implications

This review systematically examines the molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence, with emphasis on the intrinsic logic governing bidirectional remodeling between senescent cells and the immune microenvironment, to provide a new theoretical foundation for next-generation precision cancer immunotherapy.
