Genes that control cellular senescence identified

(Kobe University) A Japanese research group has succeeded in identifying genes that control cellular senescence -- permanently arrested cell growth. By developing drugs that suppress the activity of these genes, this discovery has potential applications for creating new anticancer drugs, or use in anti-aging drugs. The results of this research were published on Aug. 22 in the online version of Scientific Reports.
