What distinguishes truly senescent brain cells from merely dysfunctional reactive glia?
PARTIALLY ADDRESSED
Multiple participants noted the conflation of cellular dysfunction with senescence, but specific biomarkers to differentiate senescent from reactive astrocytes/microglia remain undefined. This is critical for therapeutic targeting specificity.
