A BET family protein degrader provokes senolysis by targeting NHEJ and autophagy in senescent cells

Senescent cells can influence the tumour microenvironment by secreting immunomodulatory factors and are thus a therapeutic target. Here, the authors identify a compound that degrades BET leading to DNA damage and activation of autophagy and a reduction in tumour growth.
