How does elevated ATP paradoxically promote cellular senescence instead of enhancing cellular function?

OPEN

The abstract shows PGAM5 deletion increases both ATP levels and senescence, contradicting the typical view that higher ATP supports cellular health. This counterintuitive relationship challenges fundamental assumptions about bioenergetics and aging. Gap type: contradiction Source paper: Mitochondrial phosphatase PGAM5 modulates cellular senescence by regulating mitochondrial dynamics. (None, None, PMID:32439975)
