Immunity & ageing : I & A

Cell aging as a hidden cause of long-lasting skin inflammation

Updated

Abstract

Cellular senescence is identified as a key risk factor in chronic inflammatory skin disorders.

  • Chronic inflammatory skin disorders involve persistent inflammation and impaired skin barrier function.
  • Traditional views attribute disease progression primarily to immune dysregulation.
  • Emerging evidence suggests that cellular senescence plays a significant role in these disorders.
  • Cellular senescence is characterized by irreversible cell cycle arrest and associated with specific changes in cell function.
  • The review discusses the potential for new therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting senescent cells.
