Astrocyte senescence and SASP-driven neuroinflammation in ALS
🧪 Overview
ALS astrocytes may acquire p16/p21-positive senescence-like states and release SASP factors that activate microglia and accelerate motor-neuron loss. This remains a discovery-stage hypothesis because senescence markers may reflect reactive astrocytosis, aging, or terminal inflammation rather than a primary causal driver.
