Just to recap and consolidate:
Hayflick limit : cell division limit =
critical length of the telomeres we have been talking about.
This is in response to GY's question: when you reach the critical length of telomeres and enter a state of cell senescence, do you also undergo apoptosis? (good one!)
When telomeres of cells reach Hayflick limit/critical lengths, it enters cellular/replicative senescence (an inability to divide) or apoptosis.
Senescence and Apoptosis are different situations and either case will take place depending on cellular conditions.

In Groove with Life
***** A site for my classes because life goes beyond prescribed text and there is so much to share and to learn. And of course, since lessons are often punctuated with hysterical laughter and incoherent mind flow, here is a venue to organise my thought processes.
