报告提要:

As people age, scientists have noted that populations of senescent cells accumulate in many organs in our body. Initially such cells were thought to be benign. However, new data is revealing the very dramatic role that these cells play in accelerating our ageing and the occurrence of a wide variety of chronic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Heart disease and Osteoporosis, to name a few. The focus of my talk will be to convince you that senescent cells play a significant role in human ageing and that new therapies are being tested in animal models that show improvement in longevity. If such can translate to humans, then it is possible that we will not only live longer, but we will also have a higher quality of life as we age. Many questions still need to be addressed regarding how to stay ahead of the formation of senescent cells and whether prophylactic treatments could clear such cells before they fully develop into a pathogenic state.  Finally, safety issues and the potential emergence of cancers needs to be considered.
