Cellular Senescence
A state in which damaged cells stop dividing but don't die, accumulating over time and secreting inflammatory signals that affect surrounding tissue.
| Focus | Cell-level aging mechanism |
|---|---|
| What It Tracks | Accumulation of senescent ('zombie') cells that resist normal cell death |
| Why It Matters | One of the most-studied hallmarks of aging; senescent cell burden is linked to chronic low-grade inflammation |
| Typical Setting | Research and preclinical study; not yet a standard clinical test |
