ABSTRACT

Age-related diseases imposed heavy burdens to the healthcare systems globally, while cell senescence served as one fundamental molecular/cellular basis for these diseases. How to tackle the senescence-relevant problems is a hotspot for biomedical research. In this review article, the hallmarks and molecular pathways of cell senescence were firstly discussed, followed by the introduction of the current anti-senescence strategies, including senolytics and senomorphics. With suitable physical or chemical properties, multiple types of nanomaterials were used successfully in senescence therapeutics, as well as senescence detection. Based on the accumulating knowledges for senescence, the rules of how to use these nanoplatforms more efficiently against senescence were also summarized, including but not limited to surface modification, material-cargo interactions, factor responsiveness etc. The comparison of these "senescence-selective" nanoplatforms to other treatment options (prodrugs, ADCs, PROTACs, CART etc.) was also given. Learning from the past, nanotechnology can add more choice for treating age-related diseases, and provide more (diagnostic) information to further our understanding of senescence process.
