Implication

Review reveals bidirectional remodeling between senescent cells and the tumor immune microenvironment across cancers and glioblastoma, highlighting targets for precision immunotherapy.

Key Points

To review the molecular mechanisms connecting cellular senescence and immune microenvironment remodeling across cancers, with a specific focus on glioblastoma.
Systematic literature review synthesizing pan-cancer mechanisms of cellular senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and tumor immunology.
In-depth analysis of glioblastoma as an immune-privileged disease model utilizing single-cell and spatial multi-omics perspectives.
Cellular senescence acts as a dual-edged sword, serving as an initial tumor-suppressive barrier while driving immune reprogramming, tumor heterogeneity, and drug resistance via the SASP.
The local immune environment reciprocally governs senescent cell fate, regulating the shift between tumor suppression and promotion.
Therapeutic approaches combining 'induce-modulate-eliminate' senescence regimens with immunotherapy show promise but face hurdles from physical barriers and invasive senescent clones in glioblastoma.
