Senescent cell heterogeneity and responses to senolytic treatment are related to cell cycle status during cell growth arrest.

Francesco Neri, Shuyuan Zheng, Mark Watson…·Birgit Schilling

This study identifies functionally distinct senescent cell subpopulations based on cell cycle status, showing G2-arrested cells secrete more IL-6 and are more sensitive to senolytic treatment.

A Fully-Automated Senescence Test (FAST) for the high-throughput quantification of senescence-associated markers

Francesco Neri, Selma N. Takajjart, Chad A. Lerner…·Akos A. Gerencser

The paper introduces FAST, an automated method for high-throughput senescence quantification using image-based markers, showing it accurately measures senescence burden across cell types and reduces false positives.
