...Vinesh Dhokia; Amal Albati; Hannah Smith; Gethin Thomas; Salvador Macip Cellular senescence, a form of terminal cell cycle arrest, is as a key driver of organismal ageing and an important factor in age-related diseases. Insights into the senescent phenotype have led to the development of novel...

...Hilary J. Rogers Floral senescence is of fundamental interest in understanding plant developmental regulation, it is of ecological and agricultural interest in relation to seed production, and is of key importance to the production of cut flowers. The biochemical changes occurring are well-studied...

.... Progerin expression results in a myriad of cellular phenotypes including abnormal nuclear morphology, loss of peripheral heterochromatin, transcriptional changes, DNA replication defects, DNA damage and premature cellular senescence. A key challenge is to elucidate how these different phenotypes...

Senescence can further be propagated to neighbouring cells, a process called secondary senescence...

Several species, such as naked mole rats, ocean quahog, rockfish and Greenland shark, have been identified that exhibit negligible senescence and superior resistance to age-related diseases...

... of rapamycin (mTOR) to be a key modulator of aging and the use of mTOR inhibitors has been shown to ameliorate much age-related pathology; however, recent data suggest that senescent CD8 + T-cells function independently of mTOR. This review article will challenge the perceived dogma that mTOR universally...

Although the evidence is strong that telomere shortening in late-passage human lymphocyte and non-lymphocytic cell lines induces a state in which the cells can no longer divide, there is no compelling evidence to suggest that replicative senescence of this kind is an important...
