🧬 The 194-Year Lifespan Limit: Why Somatic Mutations May Ultimately Stop Human Immortality

A groundbreaking mathematical model suggests that even if scientists solved nearly every hallmark of aging, somatic mutations could still limit human lifespan to around 146–194 years. Discover why your brain and heart—not your liver—may ultimately define how long humans can live.

Indoor Tanning: You May Get the Bronze But Still Lose… To Melanoma

You may get the bronze — but your DNA gets the bill. 🧬
A new Science Advances study shows how indoor tanning quietly loads normal skin with melanoma-linked mutations. Here’s what the science says, how to spot melanoma early (ABCDEs), and why nature beats tanning beds every time.
