Comparative evaluation of D-galactose and hydrogen peroxide for neurosenescence induction: an in vitro study.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe progressive accumulation of senescent neuronal cells promotes sustained inflammatory responses and has been recognised as the key contributor to age-associated neurodegenerative changes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal senescence and its impact on neural homeostasis remain poorly defined. Therefore, robust in vitro models recapitulating neuronal senescence are required for better mechanistic insight. Chemical inducers like Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and D-galactose (D-gal) are widely used to induce senescence in cell culture systems. In the present study, we systematically compared H₂O₂ and D-galactose induced senescence in human pre-neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, to establish a reliable cellular model for neuronal aging and understand its implications in brain degeneration. METHODS AND
resultsCellular senescence was assessed based on morphological alterations as well as senescence-associated markers like SA-β-gal activity, expression of senescence-associated genes and proteins such as p16, p21, p53, and γH2AX. SH-SY5Y cells exhibited altered cellular morphology and changes in senescence-associated molecular markers following treatment. H₂O₂ treatment induced senescence-associated changes within five days, whereas senescence was observed within 24 h following D-galactose exposure. Both treatments resulted in increased cellular granularity and flattened or fibroblast-like morphology, although the kinetics of senescence induction differed between the two models.
conclusionThe results demonstrated that D-galactose- induced a more rapid and pronounced senescence phenotype in SH-SY5Y cells compared with hydrogen peroxide based on the molecular hallmarks of aging. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the D-galactose- induced model provides a more reliable and physiologically relevant in vitro model for investigating neuronal senescence .
