Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that following psoralen photoactivation (PUVA treatment) human dermal fibroblasts undergo long-term growth arrest as well as morphological and functional changes reminiscent of cellular senescence [ 1 ]. In the absence of molecular data on what constitutes normal senescence, it has been difficult to decide whether these PUVA-induced changes reflect cellular senescence or rather a mimic...
