AI Article Synopsis
- Senescence acts as a strong defense against cancer, making it difficult for potential tumor cells to become malignant.
- The article reviews two recent studies that explore how long senescence lasts and its impact on cancer development.
- Insights from these studies are relevant to researchers in both aging and cancer fields, highlighting the interconnectedness of these areas.
Article Abstract
Senescence is a potent anticancer mechanism, representing a barrier that most, if not all, would-be tumor cells must traverse on their path to malignant transformation. In this Perspective, I discuss two recent publications (1, 2) that deal with the durability of senescence. These findings are of interest not only to those who study aging, but to those who study cancer as well.

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the breasts in men, which is usually benign but can also manifest as a result of malignancies, and can be either unilateral or bilateral. Pseudogynecomastia is male breast enlargement due to excessive fat, while true gynecomastia is a proliferation of glandular tissue. Gynecomastia is common in infants, adolescents, and elderly men, with the most common cause is related to hormonal changes associated with aging.

Background: Late-life depression (LLD) is often accompanied by cognitive impairment, which may persist despite antidepressant treatment. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an efficacious treatment for depression, with potential benefits on cognitive functioning. However, research on cognitive effects is inconclusive, relatively sparse in LLD, and predominantly focused on group-level cognitive changes.

Objectives: A growing body of research has identified associations between family size and cognition in older adults. These studies largely focus on older adults' own fertility history instead of sibship size, defined as one's number of siblings. Sibship size may impact cognitive development during early childhood, creating differences that may persist into late-life.

Purpose: Mental health conditions after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are common and can complicate injury outcomes, but are under-treated. According to the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation, the way patients perceive their health conditions can influence the way they manage them, including if, when, and how they seek treatment. This study explored how individuals perceive persistent symptoms after mTBI, in order to develop a grounded theory about what motivates and demotivates them to seek mental health treatment after their injury.

Although socioeconomic status is salient for health and well-being across the life course, previous research indicates that the social gradient in health is racialized and that Black adults experience diminishing health returns on higher socioeconomic status. We extend this literature by examining whether there are diminishing physiological health returns on intergenerational mobility groups for Black adults and, if so, whether diminishing health returns vary across age. We use six waves of data from the Health and Retirement Study (N = 11,846) and mixed effects models; and average marginal effects are used to interpret the race by intergenerational mobility interaction.
