Cellular senescence is a biological stress response where cells cease dividing but do not die, instead lingering in tissue and emitting a toxic cocktail of inflammatory signals. In the liver, immune cells known as macrophages can enter this "zombie" state, continuously accumulating and driving the chronic inflammation associated with both aging and fatty liver disease.

#ActivityRecognition #research: I am looking for an outlet (peer reviewed) for a #tutorial paper on collecting #multimodal #data with #wearables and #IoT in #nursing homes. We learnt a lot in our pilot study in a #dementia #care ward and want to share our insights/mistakes with a broader audience (#Nursing, #Physiotherapy, #Psychology, #Neurology, #Gerontology) Anyone with a tip for an outlet that accepts a collection of practical considerations for collecting #realWorldData?
