Now, researchers have further evolved this technology to get an even clearer genome-wide picture of these genetic workings.

Now, Yale researchers have received a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund’s Cellular Senescence Network Program (SenNet) to study these specialized cells.
