    GlossaryCellular Senescence

    state where cells permanently stop dividing but remain metabolically active

    Cellular senescence is a state in which cells stop dividing and enter a permanent state of growth arrest without dying. This process is a natural part of aging and acts as a defense mechanism against cancer, as it prevents damaged cells from proliferating. However, the accumulation of senescent cells over time can contribute to tissue dysfunction and age-related diseases.
