Senescent cells amplify blood clotting - now protein targets identified

Could help tackle venous thrombosis that becomes a bigger risk with age

24-Sep-2019

Key points from article :

44 specific senescence-associated proteins identified that are involved in blood clotting.

Should improve our understanding of the implications of the SASP.

Incidence of venous thrombosis rises rapidly after the age of 45.

By 80, the condition affects five to six people per thousand individuals.

Big data bioinformatics used to hone in on 44 proteins from 343 secreted by senescent human fibroblasts.
