claimPathological accumulation of senescent cells (SCs) is associated with ageing and a range of diseases, making them potential pharmacological targets for delaying the ageing process.
claimThe DNA repair response in stem cells declines with ageing, leading to the loss of stem cell properties, DNA damage-caused cellular senescence, and organ atrophy.
