EDITORS’ CHOICE: The multifaceted inducers of cellular senescence

Each month, we will highlight a paper published in Aging chosen as the “Editors’ Choice.” These selections are handpicked by our editors and accompanied by a brief summary, showcasing research with significant impact and novel insights in aging and age-related diseases.

Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging and age-related disease, yet the diverse mechanisms that trigger this cellular state remain incompletely understood. The review recently published in Volume 18 of Aging, titled “The multifaceted inducers of cellular senescence,” examines the many intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli that induce senescence, including DNA damage, oxidative and mitochondrial stress, telomere attrition, oncogene activation, cell–cell fusion, and developmental signals. The authors, Hilah Gal and Valery Krizhanovsky, explain how these distinct pathways converge on a stable cell-cycle arrest. By highlighting the complexity and heterogeneity of senescent cells, the authors provide valuable insights that may guide the development of future therapies targeting senescence to promote healthy aging and combat age-related diseases.
