- renewedrebecca 2y agoThank you for clarifying that!
- jijijijij 2y agoI think this is somewhat incorrect. 'Senescence' is a particular state in cells, where they stopped cell division due to dysfunction, but are not broken enough to induce apoptosis - programmed cell death. Accumulating senescent cells in turn is associated with age related disease.
- pvaldes 2y agoAnd here implicitly, "make several organs age faster" so... very bad thing.
