RealFeedApp Senescent cells accumulate in tissues
The study found that the MTR4 gene slows cellular senescence in mammalian blood vessels and extends lifespan in nematodes by suppressing inflammatory signals from senescent cells.
- Field
- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- Researchers discovered that the protein MTR4 reduces cellular senescence in blood vessels of mammals and extends life in nematode worms.
- Why it matters
- This could help understand aging mechanisms in blood vessels and find ways to slow down the accumulation of senescent cells that cause inflammation.
