Limited life-span paradigm

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006594",
  "term": "Limited life-span paradigm",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A model of aging that assumes each organism carries a genetically determined ceiling on how long it can live. Each species is therefore expected to have a characteristic maximum life span, as opposed to a life span set purely by external hazards. A related observation is the Hayflick limit, the finite number of divisions that normal human cells complete in culture.",
