Abstract

This article investigates the role of autophagy in cellular senescence, a state of permanent cell cycle arrest that contributes to aging and age-related diseases. Autophagy, a cellular degradation process, is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by removing damaged organelles and proteins. The study demonstrates how enhanced autophagy can delay the onset of senescence and promote cellular longevity. By elucidating the underlying pathways, this research offers potential strategies for therapeutic interventions targeting age-associated disorders through autophagy modulation.
