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.

Selective photodynamic eradication of senescent cells with a β-galactosidase-activated photosensitiser.

TL;DR: In this article , a β-galactosidase-responsive photosensitiser was designed and synthesized, which contains a galactosyl substrate, a boron dipyrromethene-based photoensitising unit and a black hole quencher 2 connected via an AB2-type self-immolative linker.

Senescence and Inflammation: Summary of a Gerontological Society of America and National Institute on Aging-Sponsored Symposium.

TL;DR: The National Institute on Aging (NIA) sponsored a symposium at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) annual meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana to discuss recent discoveries related to senescent and inflammatory mechanisms in aging and disease as mentioned in this paper .

Localization of senescent cells under cavity preparations in rats and restoration of reparative dentin formation by senolytics.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors established a rat model of dental cavity preparation and analyzed the spatiotemporal localization of senescent cells in the pulp and found that p21 and p16-positive cells appeared mostly around the pulp horn under DCP.

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.
