In recent years, much attention has been paid to the study of the senolytic drug. The mechanism of cellular senescence is complicated, so the changes are observed in multiple indicators such as oxygen consumption rate (OCR), mitochondrial membrane potential, energy production, and more…
In particular, OCR measurement which directly reflects mitochondrial activity, is useful as a method of characterizing the phenotype of senescent cells and evaluating the effects of cellular senescence on mitochondrial function.
