In 1961 at the Wistar Institute in the US, Hayflick researched a phenomenon later called the Hayflick Limit, or the claim that normal human cells can only divide forty to sixty times before they cannot divide any further.
Telomerase replaces short bits of DNA known as telomeres, which are otherwise shortened when a cell divides via mitosis. In normal circumstances, absent telomerase, if a cell divides recursively, at some point the progeny reach their Hayflick limit, which is believed to be between 50â70 cell divisions.
