Chaperone-mediated autophagy in cells and immune surveillance — a short article preview that outlines why readers should open this research feature to learn how CMA-related pathways and macrophage function are examined in relation to cellular senescence and tissue aging.
Key Takeaways
- Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) activity declines with aging in studied tissues.
- Reduced CMA increases senescent cell burden that contributes to tissue dysfunction.
- Impaired macrophage-mediated immunosurveillance partly drives the accumulation of senescent cells.
