🧬 Senescent cells accumulate as we age, can we understand them for better therapies? @marc_dema will explore how understanding senescence could help develop new approaches to healthier ageing at #BSRA2026 🗓️ 9–11 Sept 📍 Keble College, Oxford 🔗bsra.org.uk/events/75th-annu…

Online now!✨Wang et al report a role for CDK4/6 in regulating not only cell cycle progression but also the SASP, via retinoic acid signaling and NFkB. Targeting this pathway reduces inflammation and improves function in aged mice @Marc_dema nature.com/articles/s43587-0…

Thank you, @marc_dema (@umcg) for a great #CeMMinar on heterogeneity in cellular #senescence! He shared how senescent cells can both aid tissue repair & drive aging & dysfunction, & how targeting them could support healthy #aging. Thanks to hosts @rooij_laura & André Rendeiro!

Can aging biology reshape healthcare? In my latest editorial for @AgingJrnl , I argue it's time to shift from reactive disease treatment to proactive, biology-driven strategies that extend healthspan. aging-us.com/article/206262/… #AgingResearch #Healthspan #Geroscience #Longevity

Excited to share our latest doi.org/10.1038/s44318-025-0… revealing a novel approach to enhance the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer treatment based on targeting aberrant lysosomes #BreastCancer #Senescence #CDK4_6Inhibitors #EMBOJournal #Senolytics #Aging #Longevity

We show that: CDK4/6i induces a senescent-like state in breast cancer cells but these cells resist common senolytics; Lysosomal alterations make them vulnerable to lysosomotropic agents (LLOMe, salinomycin); Sequential treatment reduces tumor growth in HR+ & some TNBC models

We believe this strategy could help eliminate therapy-induced senescent(-like) cancer cells, reducing recurrence & improving outcomes. Hopefully some funding agency will hep us to extend our study for pre-clinical validations and for applications in other tumor types
