Evidence links polyploidy and senescence in bladder cells, with implications for cancer‎

UConn Center on Aging researchers have published a new editorial in the journal Aging titled "Polyploidy-induced senescence: Linking development, differentiation, repair, and (possibly) cancer?" In this editorial, Dr. Iman M. Al-Naggar, assistant professor of cell biology at UConn School of Medicine along with Dr. George A. Kuchel, director of the UConn Center on Aging, examines the biological and clinical significance of polyploidy-induced senescence.
