TY  - JOUR
AB - Cellular senescence is a stress response that elicits a permanent cell cycle arrest and triggers profound phenotypic changes such as the production of a bioactive secretome, referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Acute senescence induction protects against cancer and limits fibrosis, but lingering senescent cells drive age-related disorders. Thus, targeting senescent cells to delay ageing and limit dysfunction, known as ‘senotherapy’, is gaining momentum. While drugs that selectively kill senescent cells, termed ‘senolytics’, are a major focus, SASP-centered approaches are emerging as alternatives to target senescence-associated diseases. Here, we summarise the regulation and functions of the SASP and highlight the therapeutic potential of SASP modulation as complimentary, or an alternative to, current senolytic approaches.
