Abstract excerpt
We tested a hypothesis that activation of growth-promoting pathways is required for cellular senescence. In the presence of serum, induction of p21 caused senescence, characterized by beta-Galactosidase staining, cell hypertrophy, increased levels of cyclin D1 and active TOR (target of rapamycin, also known as mTOR). Serum starvation and rapamycin inhibited TOR and prevented the expression of some senescent...
