The term “cellular senescence” denotes a cellular response to several stressors that results
in irreversible growth arrest, alterations of the gene expression profile, epigenetic
modifications, and an altered secretome, all of which eventually impair the reparative
properties of primitive cells, adding a layer of complexity to the field of regenerative
medicine. The purpose of this review is to illustrate how cellular senescence could affect
tissue repair and to propose interventions that aim at interfering with it. Clinical …
