Background:

  • Cellular senescence is a natural process limiting cell proliferation.
  • Viral infections, such as with Simian virus 40 (SV40), can disrupt normal cellular aging.
  • Understanding cell immortalization is crucial for regenerative medicine and cancer research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate SV40-mediated cell immortalization.
  • To identify key factors involved in SV40-induced immortalization.
  • To elucidate the roles of these factors in cellular immortalization.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of articles on cell immortalization and replicative senescence.
  • Analysis of studies published within the last decade.
  • Synthesis of findings on viral integration, telomerase activity, and tumor suppressor inactivation.
