BIMAX2
BIMAX2 is a high affinity nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide. BIMAX2 can mimic the activity of the classical nuclear localization signal (cNLS) and competitively bind to importin α, thereby inhibiting the binding of cNLS-cargo proteins to importin α. BIMAX2 can be used to study the role of RBBP4 in regulating nuclear import efficiency and cell senescence.

Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining
Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining detects β-galactosidase activity that is histochemically visible at pH 6. 0 in senescent cells, where X-gal cleavage produces an insoluble blue precipitate observable by bright-field microscopy. This activity reflects increased lysosomal β-galactosidase/lysosomal mass rather than a senescence-essential enzyme, because GLB1 depletion or genetic lysosomal β-galactosidase deficiency can abolish SA-β-gal staining while cells still undergo senescence. SA-β-gal was originally reported in senescent but not presenescent fibroblasts and keratinocytes, absent from quiescent fibroblasts and terminally differentiated keratinocytes, and increased with donor age in human skin samples. Because SA-β-gal can also appear in some non-senescent or tissue-specific contexts, interpretation should be paired with experimental controls and, when possible, independent senescence markers.
