Iron Accumulation During Cellular Senescence in Human Fibroblasts <i>In Vitro</i>
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Iron accumulates as a function of age in several tissues in vivo and is associated with the pathology of numerous age-related diseases. The molecular basis of this change may be due to a loss of iron homeostasis at the cellular level. Therefore, changes in iron content in primary human fibroblast cells (IMR-90) were studied in vitro as a model of cellular senescence. Total iron content increased exponentially...
