However, prolonged metabolic stress allows once-senescent liver cells to start dividing and progress to cancer. A MASH-inducing diet caused DNA damage in the liver cells (hepatocytes) of MUP-uPA mice.
Accurately identifying and visualizing these cells in vivo is crucial for understanding their role in cancer biology and developing targeted therapies. Traditional methods for detecting senescent ...
those caused by the accumulation of senescent cells (cells that stop dividing due to age or damage). Fasting and other dietary regimens are increasingly being explored as ways to starve cancer ...
They can fundamentally change how our cells function, right down to their DNA." More information: Li Gu et al, FBP1 controls liver cancer evolution from senescent MASH hepatocytes, Nature (2025).
