Abstract

Role of cell senescence in ageing Senescent cells accumulate in tissues with age, but it is not known whether they actually cause age-related dysfunction or whether their removal is beneficial. Using a mouse model with a transgene named INK-ATTAC, which allows for the inducible elimination of cells carrying the senescence biomarker p16Ink4a, Baker et al. demonstrate that life-long removal of senescent cells delays the onset of age-related phenotypes. Furthermore, late-life clearance attenuated the progression of already established age-related disorders. This indicates that senescent cells do cause age-related phenotypes and that their removal can prevent or delay age-related tissue dysfunction.
