Insoluble proteins accumulated during aging and senescence bind to Thioflavin T. Thioflavin T fluorescence in arbitrary unit (a.u) of the insoluble fraction of: (A) C. elegans, day 1 (D1), day 5 (D5), and day 10 (D10) of adult life, n = 3; (B) MEFs, proliferative (PD = 3) and senescent (PD = 8), n = 3; (C) Brain; (D) Heart; (E) Liver; and (F) Intestine of mouse, young (3 m.o., n = 8), adult (12 m.o., n = 8), and old (22 m.o., n = 4). One way ANOVA, Tukey post-hoc test. T-test (FEMs), nsp > 0.05, *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001. Average ± SEM.
