Lessons from inducible pluripotent stem cell models on neuronal senescence in aging and neurodegeneration

Abstract excerpt

Age remains the central risk factor for many neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although the mechanisms of aging are complex, the age-related accumulation of senescent cells in neurodegeneration is well documented and their clearance can alleviate disease-related features in preclinical models. Senescence-like characteristics are...
