TLDR
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.

Radiation-induced senescence: therapeutic opportunities

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of the so-called senescence-associated secretory phenotype characteristics on the pathogenesis of the radiation-induced late effects was discussed, and the therapeutic options to eliminate cellular senescentence using either senolytics and/or senostatics were discussed.

Towards biomarkers for outcomes after pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and ischemic stroke, with focus on (co-)morbidity and aging / cellular senescence (SASKit): protocol for a prospective cohort study

TL;DR: To study the link between (co-)morbidity and aging, by exploring biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of disease-triggered deterioration, 50 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, patients with (thromboembolic) ischemic stroke and 50 controls are recruited and the dataset shall be useful to validate the findings of other studies.

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.
