Fig. 2From: The aging lung: tissue telomere shortening in health and diseaseAssociation of age and telomere length in AT2 cells of normal lung tissue by fluorescent in situ hybridization. Telomere length determination by FISH on normal lung tissue of (a) a 19-year old and (b) an 83-year old donor showed (c) significantly higher telomere length in AT2 cells of the youngest subject (p = 0.009). The fluorecent labelling in the a and b panel stands for green: proSPC (AT2 cells), red: telomere probe, blue: DAPI.
