Abstract
Cellular senescence is one of the best-studied biological programs, yet it continues to reveal unexpected aspects. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Durik et al.1 describe how senescent cells shed large cytoplasmic fragments that promote their survival and may represent a mechanism of communication with neighboring cells.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Cell, established in 2001, is a comprehensive journal that explores a wide range of topics in cell and developmental biology. Our publication encompasses work across various disciplines within biology, with a particular emphasis on investigating the intersections between cell biology, developmental biology, and other related fields. Our primary objective is to present research conducted through a cell biological perspective, addressing the essential mechanisms governing cell function, cellular interactions, and responses to the environment. Moreover, we focus on understanding the collective behavior of cells, culminating in the formation of tissues, organs, and whole organisms, while also investigating the consequences of any malfunctions in these intricate processes.
