Overview

Cellular senescence is a state in which a cell permanently stops dividing while remaining metabolically active, entering a stable form of growth arrest rather than dying. It is triggered by stresses such as telomere shortening, DNA damage, and oncogene activation, and it serves as a protective brake that can prevent damaged cells from becoming cancerous. Over a lifetime, however, senescent cells accumulate in tissues and secrete inflammatory factors, a process linked to aging and to many age-related conditions. Within the broad scope of Aging Research And Healthcare, senescence connects to several lines of inquiry represented in the journal's archive. Work on oxidative telomere attrition and nutritional antioxidants examines how oxidative stress and telomere maintenance influence biological aging, a core driver of the senescent state. Studies evaluating SIRT1 and telomerase activity address molecular pathways closely tied to cellular lifespan and anti-aging mechanisms, while research on frailty and the immune system explores how aging at the cellular and systemic level shapes resilience in older adults. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to cellular senescence and the biology of aging.
