CELLULAR SENESCENCE IN AGING RELATED METABOLIC DISEASES

Cellular senescence causes inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. Accordingly, genetic depletion of senescent cells has recently been shown to extend lifespan and attenuate aging-related diseases. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying senescence and how it may promote diseases of aging are unclear. Recent work from my laboratory has implicated a role for ALCAT1 in linking cellular senescence with aging-related diseases.
