A schematic presentation of age-related changes in cellular phenotypes. Several studies indicate that cellular replication capacity declines in different tissues and immune system during aging [107110], whereas the appearance of senescent cells increases (see text). Age-related changes are tissue specific, and the diagram depicts only the trend during aging rather than absolute changes. Alterations in cellular phenotypes are associated with an increase in the resistance to apoptosis
