Chondrocyte senescence

downin mouse cells1

1 study
  1. IRAK3 decreases chondrocyte senescence in mouse cells.

    “IRAK3 inhibited the TLR7/TLR9–NF-κB pathway, leading to decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced chondrocyte senescence.”

Cellular senescence

downin mice1

1 study
  1. IRAK3 inhibits cellular senescence in mice.

    “The absence of IRAK-M led to a disruption in RPE cell homeostasis, characterized by compromised mitochondrial function, cellular senescence, and aberrant cytokine production.”
