Senescence

The distinction to keep

The Atlas treats senescence as a measurement challenge with multiple contexts, not a single label that identifies every cell that should be removed. Evidence needs the cell type, initiating condition, and relevant functional consequence.

Questions for a useful brief

• What induced the measured state?
• How is it distinguished from quiescence or repair?
• Do independent methods agree, and where do they disagree?

Build a decision—not a slogan

Write down the actual model and endpoint before deciding what the result implies. Then name the observation that would change your interpretation. The linked records below retain their original experimental setting and source-access limits.
