AbstractRationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with the acceleration of lung aging, demonstrated by the accumulation of senescent cells in lung tissue.

Senescent cells spread senescence to neighboring and distant cells, which favors the progression of COPD and its comorbidities.
