Cellular senescence refers to the natural aging process of cells. It occurs when cells stop dividing and become less active over time. This can lead to various changes in the body, such as wrinkled skin or reduced organ function. Full definition
This may well be more a sign of the times, a measure of the increasing interest in the research community directed towards the role of cellular senescence in aging, rather than something that arises organically. (fightaging.org)
An enzyme called SETD8 appears to play a critical role in cellular senescence onset Senescent cells may have stopped dividing, but they continue to remain active — churning out a specific cocktail of factors that increases inflammation and breaks down tissue among other things. (alivebynature.com)
