Senolytic drugs: reducing senescent cell viability to extend health span

PD Robbins, D Jurk, S Khosla… - Annual review of …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Senescence is the consequence of a signaling mechanism activated in stressed cells to
prevent proliferation of cells with damage. Senescent cells (Sncs) often develop a senescence-…

Senolytics improve physical function and increase lifespan in old age

…, N Giorgadze, NK LeBrasseur, JD Miller, D Jurk… - Nature medicine, 2018 - nature.com
Physical function declines in old age, portending disability, increased health expenditures,
and mortality. Cellular senescence, leading to tissue dysfunction, may contribute to these …

[PDF][PDF] Cellular senescence: defining a path forward

…, G Ferbeyre, J Gil, E Hara, V Krizhanovsky, D Jurk… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
Cellular senescence is a cell state implicated in various physiological processes and a wide
spectrum of age-related diseases. Recently, interest in therapeutically targeting senescence …

DNA damage response and cellular senescence in tissues of aging mice

C Wang, D Jurk, M Maddick, G Nelson… - Aging cell, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The impact of cellular senescence onto aging of organisms is not fully clear, not at least
because of the scarcity of reliable data on the mere frequency of senescent cells in aging tissues…

[HTML][HTML] Cellular senescence drives age-dependent hepatic steatosis

…, JL Kirkland, JF Passos, T Von Zglinicki, D Jurk - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases with age. Cellular
senescence refers to a state of irreversible cell-cycle arrest combined with the secretion of …

Chronic senolytic treatment alleviates established vasomotor dysfunction in aged or atherosclerotic mice

…, T Pirtskhalava, NM Thalji, M Hagler, D Jurk… - Aging cell, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
While reports suggest a single dose of senolytics may improve vasomotor function, the
structural and functional impact of long‐term senolytic treatment is unknown. To determine …

[HTML][HTML] Telomere dysfunction in ageing and age-related diseases

F Rossiello, D Jurk, JF Passos… - Nature cell …, 2022 - nature.com
Ageing organisms accumulate senescent cells that are thought to contribute to body dysfunction.
Telomere shortening and damage are recognized causes of cellular senescence and …

[HTML][HTML] Telomeres are favoured targets of a persistent DNA damage response in ageing and stress-induced senescence

G Hewitt, D Jurk, FDM Marques, C Correia-Melo… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures, which protect chromosome ends and
have been implicated in the ageing process. Telomere shortening has been shown to …

A senescent cell bystander effect: senescence‐induced senescence

G Nelson, J Wordsworth, C Wang, D Jurk… - Aging cell, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Senescent cells produce and secrete various bioactive molecules including interleukins,
growth factors, matrix‐degrading enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, it has …

[HTML][HTML] Chronic inflammation induces telomere dysfunction and accelerates ageing in mice

D Jurk, C Wilson, JF Passos, F Oakley… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
