Connecting autophagy to senescence in pathophysiology.

Abstract excerpt

Cellular senescence is an extremely stable form of cell cycle arrest activated in response to stress. Autophagy, a lysosome-dependent cellular catabolic process, can also be triggered by cellular stresses. Both senescence and autophagy have been implicated in a similar range of pathophysiologies, including cancer, aging and age-related symptoms. Senescence is a heterogeneous phenotype that is composed of multiple...
