"Mechanical Damage to Cell Membranes: Unveiling the Secrets of Cellular Aging"
A new study has found that damage to cell membranes can lead to cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing and start producing various secretory proteins that can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on the body. The extent of the damage and subsequent calcium ion influx determine the fate of the cell, with moderate damage leading to cellular senescence. This discovery may contribute to developing strategies for healthy longevity in the future.
