Harnessing Immune Rejuvenation: Advances in Overcoming T Cell Senescence and Exhaustion in Cancer Immunotherapy.
Review in Aging cell, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has transformed the landscape of cancer treatment, with T cell-based strategies at the forefront of this revolution. However, the durability of these responses is frequently undermined by two intertwined phenomena: T cell exhaustion and senescence. While exhaustion is driven by chronic antigen exposure in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, leading to a reversible state of diminished functionality, senescence reflects a more permanent, age- or stress-induced arrest in cellular proliferation and effector capacity. Together, these processes represent formidable barriers to sustained anti-tumor immunity. In this review, we dissect the molecular underpinnings of T cell exhaustion and senescence, revealing how these dysfunctions synergistically contribute to immune evasion and resistance across a range of solid tumors. We explore cutting-edge therapeutic approaches aimed at rewiring the exhausted and senescent T cell phenotypes. These include advances in immune checkpoint blockade, the engineering of "armored" CAR-T cells, senolytic therapies that selectively eliminate senescent cells, and novel interventions that reinvigorate the immune system's capacity for tumor eradication. By spotlighting emerging strategies that target both exhaustion and senescence, we provide a forward-looking perspective on the potential to harness immune rejuvenation. This comprehensive review outlines the next frontier in cancer immunotherapy: unlocking durable responses by overcoming the immune system's intrinsic aging and exhaustion, ultimately paving the way for transformative therapeutic breakthroughs.
