Senescence
The cellular state of permanent growth arrest with secretion of pro-inflammatory signals — a central driver of biological aging.
Definition
Cellular senescence is a state in which a cell stops dividing but remains metabolically active, secreting a mix of pro-inflammatory cytokines, matrix-remodelling enzymes and growth factors collectively called the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescent cells accumulate with age and drive tissue dysfunction and inflammation. Senolytic therapies aim to selectively eliminate them.

Senolytic
A class of therapies that selectively eliminate senescent cells — an emerging longevity approach, mostly small-molecule rather than peptide.
MechanismAutophagy
The cellular self-cleaning process that recycles damaged organelles and proteins — a core longevity mechanism activated by fasting, exercise and certain peptides.
MechanismmTORMechanistic Target of Rapamycin
A master growth-signalling kinase that integrates nutrient, energy and hormonal cues — the counterweight to autophagy in longevity biology.
