Senescent Cells

Caption

These are senescent cells under a microscope. The cells -- human lung fibroblasts -- became senescent after they or nearby cells were genetically engineered to increase activity of the CD36 gene. Areas stained in blue are regions where an enzyme associated with senescence is active.
