Abstract:

Cellular senescence and fibrosis are two biological processes that are closely related to the development of many diseases. Cellular senescence can occur through mechanisms such as telomere shortening, DNA damage, and oxidative stress, leading to degradation of cell function and decreased ability to repair damage. More and more studies have shown that fibrosis and cell senescence are closely related, and cell senescence has been confirmed to be involved in the occurrence and development of scar fibrosis diseases. An in-depth understanding of the relationship between cellular senescence and scar fibrosis is helpful to find new therapeutic strategies and develop targeted drugs to reduce the process of scar fibrosis.

Key words: cellular senescence, fibrosis of scar, targeted therapy
