Abstract
If the aging of diploid human fibroblasts reflects stable genetic or epigenetic changes which are few in number and different in different cells, then complementation could occur in hybrids between individual senescent cells. However neither pairs of aged fibroblasts nor even pairs of young and senescent fibroblasts produce viable hybrids under conditions known to promote cell fusion.

## Abstract Primary human fibroblasts have a finite replicative lifespan in culture that culminates in a unique state of growth arrest, termed senescence that is accompanied by distinct morphological and biochemical alterations. Senescent cell responses to extracellular stimuli are believed to be a
