From: A Tissue Engineered Model of Aging: Interdependence and Cooperative Effects in Failing Tissues
Failure characteristics of synthetic tissues made from young or pre-aged cells. The change of (A) live cell percentage over time, (B) cell mortality rate with respect to live cell number, and (C) probability of death over time. (D) The lifetime of synthetic tissues made from young or pre-aged cells with different population densities (*indicates significance, p < 0.05). Denser tissues where cells can interact, display age specific mortality, whereas the mortality rate of sparse tissues is closer to constant.
