This is known as the “Hayflick limit” and represents a fundamental aspect of cellular aging. Senescent cells undergo dramatic ...

Hayflick was interested in detecting viruses that might cause human cancer. He would extract viruses from the culture fluid in which he grew cancer cells and attempt to transform normal cells into ...

As the field has advanced, it has emerged that there is much more to controlling cell proliferation than telomerase and that there is much more to tissue aging than just the Hayflick Limit.

However, since the technique doesn't regenerate cells (it only speeds up the creation of new ones), and there is a limit to how many times each cell can split (the real Hayflick limit), Tsunade or ...
