Senescence of human pancreatic beta cells enhances functional maturation through chromatin reorganization and promotes interferon responsiveness
29 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Senescent cells can influence the function of tissues in which they reside, and their propensity for disease. A portion of adult human pancreatic beta cells express the senescence marker p16, yet it is unclear whether they are in a senescent state, and how this affects insulin secretion. We analyzed single-cell transcriptome datasets of adult human beta cells, and found that p16-positive cells express senescence...
