Transcriptional and Proteomic Characterization of Telomere-Induced Senescence in a Human Alveolar Epithelial Cell Line
Cellular senescence due to telomere dysfunction has been hypothesized to play a role in age-associated diseases including SAW idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).It has been postulated that paracrine mediators originating from senescent alveolar epithelia signal to surrounding mesenchymal cells and contribute to disease pathogenesis.However, murine
