Aging is associated with diminished regenerative capacity and increased risk of chronic diseases. There is now compelling evidence suggests that aging process is reversible. Besides metabolic modification and systematic factors, both senescence elimination and cellular reprogramming showed beneficial effects on tissue regeneration and rejuvenation. Here we review recent studies on the interplay between cellular senescence and reprogramming. We discuss how both strategies could impact aging process and the possibility of combine them for more efficient regeneration and rejuvenation.
