Example sentences for: senescence

How can you use “senescence” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The existence of placental aging is still debated, yet various clinical, morphological, cellular and molecular aspects of placental senescence have been indicated [ 20 21 24 25 27 28 29 30 45 46 47 ] . However, it is still unclear if there are any consequences of placental aging for normal pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal birth weight and Apgar scores [ 29 48 49 ] . It has to be noted that even the abnormal placenta may have the capacity to improve its function and compensate for demands of the growing fetus, e.g., by elongation and excessive dilatation of villous sinusoids [ 26 50 ] .

  • Though apoptosis in adult muscles has been described, and may result from changes within bcl2/bax system, alteration in pathways that regulate differentiation of muscle cells, changes in the myonuclei, and the nature of pathways inducing senescence of skeletal muscles are still far from being clear [ 14 ] .

  • This enzyme has several proposed functions, such as gluco-neogenesis in germinating seeds, carbon recovery during senescence, nitrogen assimilation during seed development and decarboxylation of OAA in PEPCK-type C4 photosynthesis [ 36, 37].

  • These include DNA damage caused by Ionizing Radiation and genotoxic agents [ 1], by expression of activated oncogenes such as ras or myc [ 2], or during progression of primary cells to senescence [ 3].

  • We used ozone as an abiotic stressor because the plant's response at the biochemical and molecular level shows extensive overlap with the pathogen defense response and includes the production of ROS, as well as induction of HR and SAR [ 23 24 ] . At the phenotypic level, acute ozone exposure (high dose for a short interval) causes necrotic lesions similar to those caused by avirulent pathogen infections, whereas chronic ozone exposure (low dose for an extended period of time) accelerates foliar senescence, producing similar symptoms to those caused by virulent pathogen infections [ 25 26 ] . There is evidence that elicitor-evoked ROS production, called the oxidative burst, is an essential signaling component of the defense response [ 27 ] . Moreover ozone is a component of photochemical smog and itself represents an oxidative stress to living organisms, damaging crops and forests [ 28 ] .
