1. A method of treating a pulmonary disease associated with cellular senescence in a subject in need, said method comprising administering a pharmaceutical agent to the subject, wherein said pharmaceutical agent is an antibody that binds specifically to a cell surface polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO: 29, wherein said cell is a senescent cell, wherein said a pulmonary disease is selected from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and wherein accumulation of senescent cells is observed in said disease associated with cellular senescence.
