In- vestigations in model organisms have indicated the exis- tence of "functional senescence", the progressive decline of biological functions with age and the decline in the activity may vary from tissue to tissue. Consequently, studies per- taining to the key organs/tissues whose functions deterio- rate/fail with age have led to the development of tissue specific ageing biomarkers (Grotewiel et al., 2005; Demontis et al., 2013).展开更多
