Telomeres, posted at the edges of chromosomes, protect DNA from damage. The telomerase enzyme helps maintain the length and integrity of telomeres and acts as an aging regulator. Researchers have now ...
Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...
Imagine your DNA as a set of shoelaces. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the ends of those shoelaces, preventing them from fraying and unraveling. Structurally, telomeres are repetitive ...

Can we reverse aging at the cellular level?
Cellular aging, otherwise referred to as cell senescence, occurs when cells remain in a constant and terminal state of growth arrest that prevents their proliferation despite optimal growth conditions ...
