• Development of new non-viral systems for genetic modification of senescent cells 

      López-Seijas, Junquera; Miranda-Balbuena, Diego; Iglesias-Fente, Alba; Sacristán-Santos, Marta; Carballo-Pedrares, Natalia; Arufe, M.C.; Rey-Rico, Ana; Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio (Cell Press, 2023-03-20)
      [Abstract] Senescence is a process characterized by a prolonged irreversible cell-cycle arrest. The accumulation of senescent cells in tissues is related to aging and to the development of age-related diseases. Recently, ...
    • Generation of mesenchymal cell lines derived from aged donors 

      Piñeiro-Ramil, María; Sanjurjo-Rodríguez, Clara; Rodríguez-Fernández, Silvia; Castro Viñuelas, Rocío; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Blanco García, Francisco J; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; Díaz-Prado, Silvia (MDPI, 2021-10-01)
      [Abstract] Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal and multi-differentiation, and for this reason they are considered a potential cellular source in regenerative medicine of cartilage ...
    • Genome Wide CRISPR/Cas9 Screen Identifies the Coagulation Factor IX (F9) as a Regulator of Senescence 

      Carpintero-Fernández, Paula; Borghesan, Michela; Eleftheriadou, Olga; Pan-Castillo, Belén; Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio; Mitchell, Tom P.; Yuste, Alejandro; Ogrunc, Muge; Nightingale, Thomas D.; Mayán, María; O'Loghlen, Ana (Nature, 2022-02-19)
      [Abstract] During this last decade, the development of prosenescence therapies has become an attractive strategy as cellular senescence acts as a barrier against tumour progression. In this context, CDK4/6 inhibitors induce ...
    • Influence of Age on Rat Bone-Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Potential 

      Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio; Fernández-Pernas, Pablo; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; De-Toro, Javier; Oreiro, Natividad; Sangiao-Alvarellos, Susana; Mateos, Jesús; Arufe, M.C. (Nature, 2015-11-19)
      [Abstract] Mesenchymal stem cells promising role in cell-based therapies and tissue engineering appears to be limited due to a decline of their regenerative potential with increasing donor age. Six age groups from bone ...
    • NF-κB/IKK Activation by Small Extracellular Vesicles Within the SASP 

      Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio; O'Loghlen, Ana (Wiley, 2021-06-29)
      [Abstract] Cellular senescence plays an important role in different biological and pathological conditions. Senescent cells communicate with their microenvironment through a plethora of soluble factors, metalloproteases ...
    • Small extracellular vesicles have GST activity and ameliorate senescence-related tissue damage 

      Fafián Labora, Juan Antonio; Rodríguez-Navarro, José Antonio; O’Loghlen, Ana (Elsevier, 2020-07-07)
      [Abstract] Aging is a process of cellular and tissue dysfunction characterized by different hallmarks, including cellular senescence. However, there is proof that certain features of aging and senescence can be ameliorated. ...
