Abstract excerpt
Cellular senescence is induced by diverse means and hence thought to be mediated by multiple pathways. We show that prolonged unbalanced growth due to retardation of DNA replication elicits a senescence-like phenomenon irrespective of the cell type. In fact, modest inhibition of DNA replication by various means led to cell swelling, cytoskeletal alterations, and irregularly enlarged, flat cell shape. Such cells...
