Cellular Senescence Mitigation

Meaning

Cellular senescence mitigation is the clinical and biological strategy focused on preventing, reducing, or clearing senescent cells—those cells that have ceased dividing but remain metabolically active and secrete pro-inflammatory molecules, collectively known as the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP). This intervention aims to lessen the detrimental impact of these dysfunctional cells on tissue microenvironments, which is a major contributor to age-related decline and chronic disease. Effective mitigation is considered a core strategy in the pursuit of enhanced longevity and systemic healthspan.
