How might replicative senescence contribute to human ageing?
14 Jan 1999

Cell senescence is the limited ability of primary human cells to divide when cultured in vitro. This eventual cessation of division is accompanied by a specific set of changes in cell physiology, morphology, and gene expression. Such changes in phenotype have the potential to contribute to human ageing and age-related diseases. Until now, senescence has largely been studied as an in vitro phenomenon, but recent...
