I had read somewhere that telomere length reduces each time a cell divides. Assuming that, telomere shortening rate is directly indicative of the number of times cells have gone through division. Could that not mean that telomere shorteni

That one is not a technology one indeed. I intermingle some non-tech ones just to show that there are curious simple things everywhere, and that there's more than just tech in their lives.
