Noted during research on WI-38, which its namesake also created, this statement about senescence was later discovered to be explicable by telomeres, so cells containing telomerase can violate it.
First proposed in 1965 in Experimental Research, this notion was popularized with its discoverer's 1994 book on How and Why the phenomenon it explains occurs. Noted during research on WI-38, which its namesake also created, this statement about senescence was later discovered to be explicable by telomeres, so cells containing telomerase can violate it. Proposed by and named for a Stanford researcher, it is observed in normal human diploid cells in vitro and in some protozoans and caps theoretical human lifetime at around 125 years. For ten points, what is this term for the number of times a cell can divide and remain reproductive?
