• (cell aging) An aging process that has as participant a cell after a cell has stopped dividing. Cell aging may occur when a cell has temporarily stopped dividing through cell cycle arrest (GO:0007050) or when a cell has permanently stopped dividing, in which case it is undergoing cellular senescence (GO:0090398). May precede cell death (GO:0008219) and succeed cell maturation (GO:0048469).

• (cell aging) Cellular senescence during AGING or due to extended passages of normal cells in culture and that is triggered by the DNA damage-response to TELOMERE SHORTENING or by repeated exposure to stress signals.

• (cell aging) Progression of the cell from its inception to the end of its lifespan.

• (cell senescence) Final stage of cellular differentiation, characterized by inability to grow, divide, or repair damaged cell components, leading to cell death.

• (cell senescence) The end stage in the life of a cell when the cell can no longer divide.

• A cell aging process stimulated in response to cellular stress, whereby normal cells lose the ability to divide through irreversible cell cycle arrest.
  Gene Ontology Dictionary

• Process by which cells irreversibly stop dividing and enter a state of permanent growth arrest without undergoing CELL DEATH. Senescence can be induced by DNA DAMAGE or other cellular stresses, such as OXIDATIVE STRESS.

• (replicative senescence) A cell aging process associated with the dismantling of a cell as a response to telomere shortening and/or cellular aging.
