Id appreciate it noting the kind of tissue culture, right now im thinking about the difference between the hayflick effect at a liquid culture compared with a plate culture. At a liquid culture neighbor cyte surface receptors as well as chemokines would apparently be much less directive of longevity than a plate tissue culture where each cyte has actual neighbors that it shares receptors as well as microchemoenvironment with. thus if liquid culture cytes have the same hayflick number as neighbored plate culture cytes, then surface receptor communication or spacing would be nonrelevant to cytosenescence.
a long way of saying, I urge someone to note whether the hayflick effect is liquid or plate culture at the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.224.196.40 ( talk) 19:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I added a citation needed tag next to the statement that telomere shortening in humans is correlated with aging. While I think it's pretty well explained - perhaps, anyway - how telomere shortening in individual cells is related (or even causes) the "aging" of those individual cells. What is far less clear is how this applies to the human body as a whole. I think this article deserves a section dedicated to aging - not of cells, but of the whole body. It is an extremely interesting catalyst for discussion and investigation of the aging process (I've participated in some very interesting dinner conversations on exactly this topic). Anyone who has material that addresses the macroscopic aging process's relationship with telomeres (and telomerase) would be very appreciated for contributing it!

A large part of the Discovery section of this article is a direct quotation from [1] without attribution.

Huge confusion between senescence and cell crisis. Cells grows in vitro, then stops because of physiologic stress (for exemple, the proliferative capacity of cell population is greater when you cultivate them under 3% of Oxygen instead of 20%) When they reach senescence they remain viable but don't duplicates anymore. If you trick the cell past this hayflick limit (inhibition of CDK inhibitors like P16, P21, pRb, p53..) they will duplicates another 10 or 20 times, then reach "crisis" and enter apoptosis. Crisis is due to shortening telomeres. Senescence isn't —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.88.187.66 ( talk) 10:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
" Weismann-Swim-Hayflick Limit The antiquated idea that lifespan might be determined by the limited capacity of somatic cells to divide was originated by the famous German biologist August Weismann in 1892 (1). Mechnikov, who coined the term “gerontology,” discussed Weismann’s theory of cell division limit in his book “Essais optimistes” published in 1907 (2). In the 1950s the first convincing experimental evidence that animal cells in culture cannot be propagated indefinitely was presented by Swim, Parker, and Haff from Western Reserve University School of Medicine (3 – 5), and their results were reproduced by Hayflick and Moorhead in 1961 (6). The popular press has persisted in using the term “The Hayflick Limit” to promote the scientifically naïve idea that the human lifespan is determined by a limited number of cell divisions, although the relevance of finite divisions by fibroblasts in culture to lifespan in an organism, e.g. a person, is highly questionable (7, 8, 9). The observation that many types of cells derived from normal tissue have a finite capacity to divide in culture might be more accurately termed the Weismann-Swim-Hayflick Limit (10). 1. Weismann, A.

The article goes to pretty long lengths to tell and demonstrate the effect, and point out the exceptions. At the end of the section about experimentation, this is anomalously stuck onto the end:
"However, L. Franks and others (Loo et al. 1987; Nooden and Tompson 1995; Frolkis 1988a), have shown that the number of cell divisions can be considerably greater than that stipulated by the "Hayflick Limit", having practically no limit at all."
That would seem to be a pretty important point that would need to be amplified upon in view of the rest of the article, probably its own section.
