A new editorial was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on February 8, 2026, titled "Polyploidy-induced senescence: Linking development, differentiation, repair, and (possibly) cancer?" In this ...

Postpartum breast cancer is diagnosed five to ten years after giving birth. It is associated with a higher risk of metastasis and a lower survival rate compared with women who have not been pregnant ...

Explore the risks of postpartum cancer and discover how cellular senescence affects breast tissue after pregnancy.

Researchers have identified a biological mechanism that helps explain why some lung and ovarian cancers become resistant to ...

As we age, our bodies change and degenerate over time in a process called senescence. Stem cells, which have the unique ability to change into other cell types, also experience senescence, which ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

Aging could be the equivalent of a zombie apocalypse for your cells, scientists say. As we age, our bodies fill up with a type of dysfunctional cell that permanently stops dividing, called a ...

When cells are exposed to stress and damage, cellular senescence occurs. This phenomenon increases with aging. Senescent cells (SnCs) attain permanent growth arrest and exhibit senescence-associated ...

A wearable light therapy device tuned to near-infrared wavelengths has reduced a key cellular aging marker by 92% in laboratory tests on human hair follicle cells, according to new research. The ...
