Article Synopsis
- - Mammalian cells typically communicate through extracellular signals, but under stress, more direct methods may be necessary for cell communication, especially through cellular senescence—a state where cells permanently stop dividing.
- - Senescent cells can damage surrounding tissues despite preventing tumor development, as they secrete soluble factors that affect nearby cells.
- - New research shows that senescent cells also transfer proteins directly to neighboring immune cells (like NK and T cells) through cell contact and specific mechanisms, enhancing immune response and potentially influencing both tumor development and aging.
