This session will focus on the multiple facets of cellular senescence and tumor biology as related to development, stress responses, and normal wound healing, and their dysfunction in age- and diabetes-related wound healing impairments. Recent advances in understanding senescent cells in the context of tissue repair and their interactions with the immune system to promote or inhibit tissue repair will be discussed.
