What is the point of senescence? A deep dive into cellular aging

According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, senescent cells accumulate in the body as we age and are linked to various age-related diseases. This phenomenon prompts a fundamental question in gerontology: **What is the point of senescence?** In this guide, we'll explore the complex role of cellular senescence.

What is the Senescence Stage? Cellular Aging, Triggers, and Effects

First discovered in human cells in 1961, cellular senescence is a complex and stable state of permanent cell cycle arrest. But **what is the senescence stage**, and why is this permanent 'old' state crucial for both suppressing tumors and contributing to the aging process?

What is the first stage of senescence?

Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell-cycle arrest, is a fundamental process in aging. But **what is the first stage of senescence?** It begins not with a whisper but with the cell's immediate response to damaging stress, triggering a series of molecular changes to halt proliferation and prevent the replication of flawed genetic material.
