Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that so-called "zombie cells" come with a catch. In response to severe damage, when cells can't recover full function but aren't ready to die, they can become senescent, in a zombie-like state ...

In response to stress or damage, cells undergo senescence and stop dividing. However, if senescent cells accumulate in tissues over the long term, chronic inflammation occurs and the risk of cancer increases. Researchers ...
