THE BRIEF
1

While some researchers suggest humans could potentially live past 200 years, a new study highlights that accumulated cell damage remains the primary biological hurdle.

2

The research identifies somatic mutations and genome mosaicism as key factors that limit the lifespan of human cells, regardless of medical advancements in anti-aging.
