Abstract
Cellular senescence influences cancer progression through irreversible cell‐cycle arrest, immune surveillance, and paracrine signaling mediated by the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASP comprises inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and matrix‐remodeling enzymes that regulate the tumor microenvironment (TME).

This review systematically examines the molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence, with emphasis on the intrinsic logic governing bidirectional remodeling between senescent cells and the immune microenvironment, to provide a new theoretical foundation for next-generation precision cancer immunotherapy.

Cellular senescence is one of the major risk factors for the onset and progression of chronic pulmonary diseases. Cellular senescence can be induced by diverse stressors, including genotoxic damage, oncogenic signaling, and therapeutic interventions. These senescent cells communicate via the release of multiple inflamm...

Heterogeneity in cancer‐associated fibroblast (CAF) infiltration within the tumor microenvironment is closely associated with gastric cancer progression and immune evasion; however, precise CAF‐related diagnostic markers and actionable therapeutic targets remain scarce.
