Could humans live to 190? A new mathematical model explores the outer limits of human lifespan—even if every other known driver of aging could be eliminated. Also in the August edition of The Abstract: what the clinical evidence says about collagen supplements, whether eating less protein could support longevity, the growing effort to regenerate the aging thymus, and why vitamin B12 deficiency can sometimes look like aging.

Could humans live to 190—but not forever?
