Cellular senescence is the state when a cell stops dividing because it has reached the limit of number of times it can divide. One of the causes is that the telomeres are become too short.

Cellular senescence produces an inflammatory response.

Chronic inflammation is associated with aging and with a higher likelihood to develop chronic diseases.
