Senescent cells accumulate lipid droplets.
Senescent cells (SnCs) are growth-arrested yet remain metabolically active and undergo extensive reprogramming to support their survival and the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP). Single-nucleus analysis of brains from AD patients further revealed an elevated levels of LDs markers in senescent brain cells, including microglia.
