This is a policy paper aiming to classify cellular senescence. Such a classification is necessary before clinical trials for intervention can conducted, a disease can be diagnosed, intervention can be prescribed or treatment can be administered. This is an important first step towards the realising the potential of senotherapeutic approaches to age-related disease.
