Hepatocellular senescence induces multi-organ senescence and dysfunction via TGFβ

Abstract excerpt

Cellular senescence is not only associated with ageing but also impacts physiological and pathological processes, such as embryonic development and wound healing. Factors secreted by senescent cells affect their microenvironment and can induce spreading of senescence locally. Acute severe liver disease is associated with hepatocyte senescence and frequently progresses to multi-organ failure. Why the latter occurs...
