Scientists Reveal the Secret Behind Human Maximum Lifespan: 156 Is the Limit

Research suggests the theoretical maximum human lifespan could reach 156 years, according to a study published in the journal npj Aging. Russian researchers from Skolkovo Institute analyzed how somatic mutations accumulate over time, impacting lifespan through mathematical modeling. They found that while most organs can regenerate to mitigate mutation effects, brain and heart cells with limited regenerative capacity face persistent damage, potentially explaining why cardiovascular disease and dementia are leading causes of death.
