Death sentence
Researchers publishing in Science have found that the well-known biomarker p21 starts a fatal timer for mouse liver cells. Get better or die As the researchers demonstrate, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21, which is encoded by the Cdkn1a gene, is associated with its own secretome: the p21-associated secretory phenotype (PASP). Similar but not identical to...
Bosu exercise
A new study published in Aging Cell shows that a 12-week program of structured exercise lowers the activity of the inflammatory SASP in people in their mid-60s. Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they are part;...
Two mice
A team of researchers led by Dr. Judith Campisi of the Buck Institute has discovered valuable information about how cells express the senescence marker p21 [1]. Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they are part; instead,...
