February 2017 in “Oncotarget” Cellular senescence has both cancer-blocking and cancer-promoting effects, and targeting senescent cells may improve health and lifespan.
January 2023 in “Dermatology” The review "Cellular Senescence: Ageing and Androgenetic Alopecia" explores the connection between ageing and androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most common type of hair loss characterized by the miniaturization of hair follicles. It highlights that beyond genetic and androgen factors, ageing and the associated increase in senescent cells play a significant role in AGA. The review discusses how androgen and oxidative stress-induced senescence mechanisms contribute to AGA and suggests potential therapeutic strategies. These strategies include inhibiting the senescence of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs), removing senescent cells, and reducing the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
May 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study found that aging hair follicle stem cells change behavior, leading to hair loss, but drugs targeting these cells may help restore hair growth.
