Definition of senescence in English: senescencenoun sɪˈnɛs(ə)nssəˈnɛsəns mass nounBiology 1The condition or process of deterioration with age. Example sentencesExamples - Although it is characterized as being a deterioration process, senescence is considered to be a highly evolved genetic process.
- But most healthy mammalian cells managed just a few dozen divisions before they stopped, a process known as replicative senescence.
- The degradation of proteins and the remobilization of amino acids to developing tissues is a prominent process during senescence.
- A pretreatment of cold-induction temperatures had little effect on the course of tissue senescence under these conditions.
- Oxidative processes during senescence involve an increase in enzyme activities generating oxygen radicals and superoxide ions.
Synonyms elderliness, old age, oldness, seniority, maturity, dotage, senility - 1.1 Loss of a cell's power of division and growth.
Example sentencesExamples - Additional carbon would also be released into the rhizosphere with border cell senescence and death.
- The terms senescence and programmed cell death have led to some confusion.
- Behind this zone of environmental invasion is a wave of cell senescence, death and necrotrophic disappearance.
- Mortality barriers to human cell immortalization and effectors of replicative cellular senescence in human cells
- We have devised a functional approach to clone genes involved in the regulation of cell growth and senescence.
Synonyms feebleness, enfeeblement, infirmity, weakness, frailty, debilitation, debility, sickliness, incapacitation, malaise
