Senescence Delay

Meaning

Senescence Delay refers to interventions aimed at slowing or postponing the onset of cellular senescence, a state where cells cease dividing but remain metabolically active, secreting pro-inflammatory factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Postponing this accumulation is a primary target in extending health span, as senescent cells contribute significantly to chronic disease. This is a direct attempt to mitigate biological aging at the cellular level.
