Form follows function: Nuclear morphology as a quantifiable predictor of cellular senescence.

Abstract excerpt

Enlarged or irregularly shaped nuclei are frequently observed in tissue cells undergoing senescence. However, it remained unclear whether this peculiar morphology is a cause or a consequence of senescence and how informative it is in distinguishing between proliferative and senescent cells. Recent research reveals that nuclear morphology can act as a predictive biomarker of senescence, suggesting an active role...
