Abstract
A large, transient reduction in the population size of human fibroblasts in early passages significantly increases the variability of the life-spans of cultures in comparison to control cultures, as predicted by the commitment theory of cellular aging. The theory also predicts that a constant population of noncycling cells will appear in the later part of the culture life-span. This was confirmed by labeling the cells in culture with tritiated thymidine.
