Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) 0
The Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) is a hallmark of cellular senescence characterized by the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and proteases. SASP plays a dual role in aging and cancer by promoting tissue repair and remodeling but also contributing to chronic inflammation and tumorigenesis.
