RT Journal Article T1 The role of extracellular vesicles in cellular senescence A1 Estévez Souto, Valentín A1 Silva Álvarez, Sabela da A1 Collado Rodríguez, Manuel K1 Cellular senescence K1 EVs K1 Extracellular vesicles K1 Intercellular communication AB Cellular senescence, an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that prevents the proliferation of damaged cells, is a very relevant cellular response involved in both physiological and pathological conditions. Even though senescent cells are stably growth arrested, they exhibit a complex and poorly understood secretory phenotype, known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype, composed of soluble proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Extracellular vesicles were initially described as a waste management mechanism to remove damaged components of cellular metabolism, but increasing evidence shows that EVs could also play important roles in intercellular communication. Recently, some studies showed that EVs could have fundamental functions during cellular senescence. Our purpose in this review is to clarify the increasing literature on the role of EVs in cellular senescence as key mediators in cell-to-cell communication PB Wiley SN 1203–1211 YR 2022 FD 2022 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30798 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/30798 LA eng NO The FEBS Journal 290 (2023) 1203–1211. doi:10.1111/febs.16585 NO SDS-A is a postdoctoral fellow from GAIN, Xunta de Galicia (IN606B-2021/011).
