Accumulation of Senescent Cells and Neurodegeneration in Animal and Human Studies
This review discusses the accumulation of senescent cells and their secretory phenotype (SASP) as contributing factors to a feedback loop linking aging with neurodegeneration in PMS.

Why it matters
Understanding the relationship between senescence and neurodegenerative processes could inform future research on aging and multiple sclerosis, particularly regarding treatment approaches.
What this does not prove
It is unclear whether senescence is a cause or a consequence of PMS, highlighting the need for further investigation.

research categoriesIn this Review, we outline the biology of aging, senescence pathway markers, and SASP components.
findingsGrowing experimental and clinical evidence suggests that the accumulation of senescent cells and SASP secretion perpetuates a pathological feedback loop linking age-related processes with accelerated neurodegeneration observed in PMS.
limitationsWhether senescence drives PMS or accompanies it remains unresolved.
