Yes, this is true. The maximum lifespan (around 110-120 years) seems
to have been unchanged so far. That is why I'm so interested in recent
advances in tweaking drosophilia and C. elegans genes to increase the
lifespan, not to mention the further discoveries about how telomerase
is regulated. These results seem to have real potential for increasing
the maximum lifespan.
