Macrophages are white blood cells that serve as the body's first line of defence against infection. Macrophages can launch a reaction against tumours in addition to destroying dangerous germs. However, macrophages, like other cells, can reach a state known as senescence, which is associated
Researchers discovered methods for removing older cells from cultures when the capture rate is low. Rather than removing old cells, it is preferable to prevent them from entering senescence in the first place.
Washington [US], January 12 (ANI): A recent study revealed important insights into the molecular mechanisms that underpin the body's natural defences against the development of skin cancer.
Washington [US], March 13 (ANI): Cancer cells can dodge chemotherapy by entering a state that bears similarity to certain kinds of senescence, a type of "active hibernation" that enables them to weather the stress induced by aggressive treatments aimed at destroying them, according to a new
Washington [US], December 12 (ANI): A report from the Medical College of Georgia scientists reveal that a zombie cell called senescence-associated with cervical cancer can improve the standard treatments if targeted.
Washington [US], December 7 (ANI): How well women with cervical cancer respond to treatment and survive correlates with the level of 10 proteins in their blood that also are associated with a "zombie" cell state called senescence, Medical College of Georgia scientists report.
