Peter Attia MD
Protective caps at the ends of chromosomes whose shortening limits cell division; a fundamental biological discovery, but its role as a central cause or biomarker of aging is often overemphasized.

Y Combinator
A potential endpoint for measuring aging and longevity, though its reliability is questioned due to 'noise' and difficulty in establishing effectiveness in humans.
