Senescent cells, which are damaged and inflammatory, contribute significantly to aging. Researchers at the Max Planck ...

Worms offer a simple yet powerful whole-organism model for studying senescence, mirroring mammalian aging processes and ...

Scientists have discovered that starving and then refeeding worms can reveal surprising secrets about aging. When a specific ...

Platelet-derived growth factors can restore the proliferative potential of senescent cells taken from the degenerated intervertebral discs of aged humans.

A new study from the Cellular Aging and Senescence laboratory at Queen Mary University of London's Centre for Molecular Cell ...

Explore the fascinating concept of negligible senescence, a phenomenon observed in certain animals that seems to defy aging. Learn more about this biological process and its implications.

Cellular Senescence: Why Do Cells Stop Dividing? Senescent cells undergo major morphological and metabolic changes when at the end of their lifespan.

Several scientists accepted this assumption as fact, but when non-aging organisms were discovered, more and more researchers questioned the inevitability of senescence, and suggested perhaps aging ...

At 124 years old, Henry is officially the world’s oldest known crocodile, and his story is nothing short of extraordinary.

New data shows that several types of the shelled reptiles can slow—and even stop—aging if the environmental conditions are right.

It prevents cells from dividing while stimulating their secretion. Senescence is triggered to preserve cells that are damaged, as their immediate elimination would cause more harm than good.
