Time to catch up on some #Senescence papers, starting with beautiful work by @corina_amor_MD, Judith Freucht & @JosefLeibold. They used #CART #CellTherapy to clear #Senescent cells, and you'll never guess what happened next! nature.com/articles/s4158…
Just kidding, you guessed it: disease model mice got better. Props to the authors for A) inducing #Senescence in 3 different ways, B) using 2 models of #NASH/liver #Fibrosis, and C) validating their senescence observations in human samples of #Cancer and #Atherosclerosis.
The linchpin of the paper was identifying a specific membrane marker on #Senescent cells, uPAR. They used bulk #Transcriptomics to identify candidates, then narrowed down with #Proteomic data. Go #Omics!
They didn't explore whether uPAR is causative for the #Senescent phenotype.
