About this document
Cellular Senescence and Death Explained by djxela89 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes cellular senescence, its medical implications, and differences between necrosis and apoptosis. Cellular senescence occurs after a limited number of cell divisions and acts as an anti-cancer mechanism by preventing replication of damaged cells. However, some cells are biologically immortal by maintaining telomere length. Necrosis is premature cell death caused by external factors like toxins, while apoptosis is programmed cell death that benefits the organism.
