An Accumulation of Senescent Cells May Contribute to Chronic Inflammation of the Mammalian Liver

Creator:: Sugiyama, Aaron
Abstract:: The aging process is a biological phenomenon in mammals that heavily contributes to the onset of chronic diseases. While there are many theories that attempt to explain the biological onset of aging, one emerging theory involves chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been previously linked to several age-related diseases and is...
