“…Persistent accumulation of senescent cells during aging induces low-grade inflammation through SASP (Acosta et al, 2013), impairs the immune system (Savale et al, 2009;Albrecht et al, 2014), and increases the vulnerability and susceptibility of organs to various pathological challenges (López-Otín et al, 2013). In respiratory system, cellular senescence has established role in the pathogenesis of aging-related diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (Tsuji et al, 2006;Diaz de Leon et al, 2010;Kuwano et al, 2016;Álvarez et al, 2017;Yanagi et al, 2017;Rashid et al, 2018;Schuliga et al, 2018;Vij et al, 2018;Araya et al, 2019;Fang et al, 2019;Parikh et al, 2019b). However, little is known about the place of cellular senescence in the development of asthma.…”
