The PAI-1 protein is generated by the SERPINE1 gene. You might recall the discovery of a small human population with a loss of function mutation in this gene and longer lives then peers without the mutation. Here researchers map the relationships between PAI-1 and cellular senescence; PAI-1 is important in enabling onset of the senescent state. The accumulation of senescent cells with age is thought to be a meaningful contribution to degenerative aging, and the longevity of the PAI-1 loss …
