Escape Cancer, but Age Sooner? Scientists Unravel the Dark Side of the Tumor Suppressing Process (Newswise)
Cells shut down and stop dividing when their DNA is damaged, providing protection against cancer. However, a new study has found these cells also spew proteins into the cells' surrounding environment. The process, called cellular senescence, causes inflammation and sets up conditions that support the development of age-related diseases including, ironically, cancer.
