Senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)

Pathway40 papers11 findings

In human and mouse cell models, varied chemical and genetic exposures activate or suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. In a mouse study of pulmonary fibrosis, BAPTA-AM inhibits this phenotype, whilst reviews describe adverse cardiac effects and tumour progression.
