Replicative Senescence and Oxidant‐Induced Premature Senescence: Beyond the Control of Cell Cycle Checkpoints
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
Normal human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) undergo replicative senescence inevitably in tissue culture after a certain number of cell divisions. A number of molecular changes observed in replicative senescent cells occur in somatic cells during the process of aging. Genetic studies on replicative senescence indicate the control of tumor suppression mechanisms. Despite the significance of replicative senescence in...
