The 2017 « International Cell Senescence Association (ICSA) meeting » held in Paris (France) will provide a forum to present and discuss the latest developments in the field of cellular senescence.

Cellular senescence is now considered a fundamental cell fate playing important physiological roles in embryonic development, wound healing and tumor suppression, but also in pathophysiological conditions including age-related diseases, notably cancer and degenerative diseases such as sarcopenia, atherosclerosis, Parkinsons or Alzheimers disease.
