These findings rule out potential site-specific differences in leaf senescence and turnover rate.
In some cases they also had delayed senescence and fewer green leaves below the ear.
Alternatively, stimulated microglia undergo senescence, demonstrated by reduced viability and mitotic activity, after several weeks in culture and in the absence of telomerase repression.
In summary, multiple studies have now shown the strong correlation between the formation of heterochromatin and the attainment and maintenance of the senescence phenotype.
The obvious answer - death - is inadequate, for death is the inevitable and unavoidable conclusion of senescence.
The influence of sward condition on rates of herbage growth and senescence in mixed swards under continuous stocking management.
Our current knowledge of lung senescence is incomplete and much of it is based on detailed anatomical studies reported in the 1950s and 60s.
It goes without saying that when plasmid transfer rates overshadow plasmidinduced senescence death, the senescent type can invade.
However, it must be remembered that cellular senescence also plays roles in multiple other disease states and might potentially nurture tumourigenic growth.
The induction of premature cellular senescence of neoplastic cells (reverse exit route) may therefore be a strategy for anti-cancer therapeutics.
Cellular senescence provides a barrier to excessive cellular growth and is triggered by three main mechanisms.
Cellular senescence as a response to telomere attrition is thought to have evolved as a tumour suppressive barrier against excessive clonal expansion.
Transformations in the wider cultural context have particular relevance for social gerontology and current understandings of ageing and senescence.
Vegetative crop growth model incorporating leaf area expansion and senescence, and applied to grass.
Dogs will also be losing parasites due to senescence at a rate that is proportional to the parasite burden.
