Research Abstract |
Cellular senescence has long been considered as an important mechanism controlling tumor suppression and aging. However because cellular senescence had been studied mainly in vitro, it was unclear whether cellular senescence indeed occurs in vivo. To circumvent this problem, here we developed a system to visualize the dynamics of senescence response in vivo, especially in the context of living animal. This approach, in comjunction with the knockout mice studies, unveils biological roles of cellular senescence in vivo.
