Tiny vesicles spread senescence in lab-grown human cells

In lab-grown human fibroblasts, tiny vesicles from senescent cells prompted dividing cells to halt division and activate a DNA damage response.In lab-grown human fibroblasts, tiny vesicles from senescent cells prompted dividing cells to halt division and activate a DNA damage response.
