How Cells Respond Differently to a Cancer-Causing Gene

Chemotherapies frequently cause cancer cells to enter senescence, but do not fully eliminate these cells. Therefore, it is useful to target these therapy-induced senescent cells with senolytics that…

  • A single cancer-causing gene can trigger varied cellular responses.
  • Some responses inhibit tumor growth, while others promote tumor development.
  • Researchers used zebrafish model to discover different types of cellular senescence.
