“Investigating a novel role for senescence-associated stem cell gene expression”. Mekayla Storer

Friday, November 7, 2014

During senescence, cells undergo a proliferative arrest that seems to induce a tumorigenic effect on the neighbouring cells through secretion of specific molecules. The identification of senescence-related genes…

“Stem cells, cancer and aging: the cellular senescence connection”. Judith Campisi

Friday, November 7, 2014

Cellular senescence is defined as a basic aging process characterized by an irreversible growth arrest and a multi-faceted secretory phenotype (SAPS). Senescent cells have potent paracrine activities on…
