In contrast to transient DNA damage, persistent genomic lesions promote constitutive DNA damage signaling and cellular senescence, which is correlated with increased secretion of inflammatory signals [26, 30] In agreement with this observation, several studies have reported that premature senescence can also be induced by exposing human cells to subtoxic H 2 O 2 concentrations [31, 32] . As a consequence of chronological aging, the burden of senescent cells increases in different tissues in humans, mice, and other species, where they contribute to the development of chronic pathologies including arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, and diabetes [58, 59] Similar to other agerelated pathologies, the etiology of diabetes may be the result of the impact of different aging mechanism, including stem cell exhaustion, chronic low-grade inflammation, macromolecular damage, and cellular senescence. ./cache/cord-013415-110b95cg.txt ./txt/cord-013415-110b95cg.txt
