    RNaseH2A downregulation drives inflammatory gene expression via genomic DNA fragmentation in senescent and cancer cells

    Cellular senescence caused by oncogenic stimuli is associated with the development of various age-related pathologies through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASP is mediated by the activ...

    Hepatocyte growth factor derived from senescent cells attenuates cell competition-induced apical elimination of oncogenic cells

    Cellular senescence and cell competition are important tumor suppression mechanisms that restrain cells with oncogenic mutations at the initial stage of cancer development. However, the link between cellular s...

    A BET family protein degrader provokes senolysis by targeting NHEJ and autophagy in senescent cells

    Although cellular senescence acts primarily as a tumour suppression mechanism, the accumulation of senescent cells in vivo eventually exerts deleterious side effects through inflammatory/tumour-promoting factor s...

    Downregulation of cytoplasmic DNases is implicated in cytoplasmic DNA accumulation and SASP in senescent cells

    Accumulating evidence indicates that the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) contributes to many aspects of physiology and disease. Thus, controlling the SASP will have tremendous impacts on our h...

    Correction: Corrigendum: Obesity-induced gut microbial metabolite promotes liver cancer through senescence secretome

    Nature 499, 97–101 (2013); doi:10.1038/nature12347 In this Letter, the forename of author Masahira Hattori was spelled incorrectly as ‘Masahisa’. It has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the manus...

    Obesity-induced gut microbial metabolite promotes liver cancer through senescence secretome

    Obesity is shown in a mouse model of liver cancer to strongly enhance tumorigenesis; a high fat diet alters the composition of intestinal bacteria, leading to more production of the metabolite DCA which, proba...
