 Senescent cell. Mitochondria was stained using mitotracker (magenta), mtDNA was stained using dsDNA antibody (green) and DNA was stained with DAPI (blue). Magnification: mtDNA staining resembles fireflies travelling along highly interconnected bridges which are mitochondria.

Study context: Senescent cells are used to study biological processes related to cellular aging and age-relate diseases. Senescent cells present an increase in the mitochondrial mass, increased in mtDNA number and hyperfused mitochondrial networks. Some cells present multiple nuclei.
