PMC · DOI: 10.1016/j.xgen.2026.101168 · 2026-02-11

## TL;DR

The paper explores how senescent cells differ across liver cell types during aging, fibrosis, and cancer.

## Contribution

The study identifies cell-type- and context-specific signatures of senescent cells in the liver.

## Key findings

- Senescent cell signatures vary by liver cell type and disease context.
- The findings provide a valuable resource for future therapeutic development.

## Abstract

How does senescent cell heterogeneity vary across different cell types in the liver in aging, fibrosis, and cancer? In Cell Genomics, Karpova and Li et al. reveal cell-type- and context-specific senescent cell signatures, offering the community a valuable resource and providing the potential for future therapeutic innovation.
