Human diploid cells are shown to have a finite replicative capacity
node
Leonard Hayflick and Paul Moorhead report that normal human fibroblast strains stop dividing after a limited number of population doublings, overturning the belief that vertebrate cells in culture are intrinsically immortal. The arrested cells remain alive and metabolically active — the first description of what is now called cellular senescence.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
