Tissue specificity of senescent cell accumulation during physiologic and accelerated aging of mice

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Senescent cells accumulate with age in vertebrates and promote aging largely through their senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Many types of stress induce senescence, including genotoxic stress. ERCC1‐XPF is a DNA repair endonuclease required for multiple DNA repair mechanisms that protect the nuclear genome. Humans or mice with reduced expression of this enzyme age rapidly due to increased...
