Abstract

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are multipotent cells present in bone marrow; they play a crucial role in the process of bone formation. Cellular senescence is defined as a stable state of cell cycle arrest that impairs the functioning of cells. Research has shown that aging triggers a state of senescence in BM-MSCs, leading to a reduced capacity for osteogenic differentiation and the accumulation of senescent cells, which can accelerate the onset of various diseases. Therefore, it is essential to explore mechanisms and strategies for the rejuvenation of senescent BM-MSCs. Senile osteoporosis (SOP) is a metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone formation. The senescence of BM-MSCs is considered one of the most important factors in the occurrence and development of SOP. Therefore, the rejuvenation of BM-MSCs for the treatment of SOP represents a promising strategy. This work provides a summary of the functional alterations observed in senescent BM-MSCs and a systematic review of the mechanisms that facilitate the rejuvenation of senescent BM-MSCs. Additionally, we analyze the progress in and the limitations associated with the application of rejuvenated senescent BM-MSCs to treat SOP, with the aim of providing new insights for the prevention and treatment of SOP.
