Therapeutic strategies that safely interfere with the detrimental effects of cellular senescence, such as the selective elimination of senescent cells (SNCs) or the disruption of the SNC secretome, are gaining significant attention, with several programmes now nearing human clinical studies.
Abstract
Chronological age represents the single greatest risk factor for human disease. One plausible explanation for this correlation is that mechanisms that drive ageing might also promote age-related diseases. Cellular senescence, which is a permanent state of cell cycle arrest induced by cellular stress, has recently emerged as a fundamental ageing mechanism that also contributes to diseases of late life, including cancer, atherosclerosis and osteoarthritis. Therapeutic strategies that safely interfere with the detrimental effects of cellular senescence, such as the selective elimination of senescent cells (SNCs) or the disruption of the SNC secretome, are gaining significant attention, with several programmes now nearing human clinical studies.

Senescence as a therapeutic target

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors frame cellular senescence as the protagonist of a complex tissue remodeling process that can be divided into two steps, i.e., activation and clearance of senescent cells.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis reveals the molecular mechanism of subchondral bone cell heterogeneity in the development of osteoarthritis

TL;DR: In this article , various cell subsets from tibial plateau of OA patients are identified, and the mechanism of subchondral microstructure alteration is elaborated using single-cell RNA sequencing technique.

Cellular senescence as a driver of cognitive decline triggered by chronic unpredictable stress

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model to mimic stressful life situations and found that, compared with nonstressed control mice, CUS-treated C57BL/6 mice exhibited depressionlike behaviors and cognitive decline.

Discovering small-molecule senolytics with deep neural networks

TL;DR: Wong et al. as mentioned in this paper used graph neural networks to predict the senolytic activities of >800,000 molecules and found that three drug-like compounds selectively target senescent cells across different senescence models, with more favorable medicinal chemistry properties than those of ABT-737.

The serial cultivation of human diploid cell strains.

TL;DR: A consideration of the cause of the eventual degeneration of these strains leads to the hypothesis that non-cumulative external factors are excluded and that the phenomenon is attributable to intrinsic factors which are expressed as senescence at the cellular level.

A biomarker that identifies senescent human cells in culture and in aging skin in vivo

TL;DR: It is shown that several human cells express a beta-galactosidase, histochemically detectable at pH 6, upon senescence in culture, which provides in situ evidence that senescent cells may exist and accumulate with age in vivo.

The limited in vitro lifetime of human diploid cell strains

TL;DR: The survival curves obtained with human diploid cell strains are comparable to “multiple-hit” or “ multiple-target” curves obtain with other biological systems where an initial threshold dose is required before an exponential form of the curve is established.
