Correlation between ultraviolet-induced DNA repair in primate lymphocytes and fibroblasts and species maximum achievable life span
Abstract
The maximum achievable life span of animals appears to be species specific and has been suggested to be related to DNA damage. The rate of accumulation of such damage may be altered by repair mechanisms. The excision repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage in fibroblasts has been shown to correlate well with maximum achievable life spans in a number of placental mammals. Evidence is presented here that the correlation between life span and UV-induced excision repair of DNA damage holds within a more closely related group, the primates, in not only primary fibroblasts cell cultures, but also nonstimulated lymphocytes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
