Human skin aging is associated with increased expression of the histone variant H2A.J in the epidermis
1 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Cellular senescence is an irreversible growth arrest that occurs as a result of damaging stimuli, including DNA damage and/or telomere shortening. Here, we investigate histone variant H2A.J as a new biomarker to detect senescent cells during human skin aging. Skin biopsies from healthy volunteers of different ages (18-90 years) were analyzed for H2A.J expression and other parameters involved in triggering and/or...
