Abstract excerpt
Cellular senescence is a mechanism to inhibit the growth of mammalian cells after oncogenic activation, or in response to damage or stress. We describe here the identification of a novel gene, SENEX, that regulates stress induced premature senescence pathways in endothelial cells (ECs) involving p16(INK4a) and retinoblastoma protein activation. Endogenous levels of SENEX remain unchanged during replicative...
