- Title
Ageing: Old cells under attack.
- Authors
Peeper, Daniel S.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the study conducted by D. J. Baker and colleagues which examines the influence of senescent cells in ageing and tissue degeneration. The study analyzed the p16ink4a-expressing cells of transgenic mice. It reveals that long-term loss of p16ink4a-positive cells resulted in larger fat deposits. It adds that the features of ageing that are independent of p16ink4a remain unchanged.
