Telomeres
Telomere Length or Cell Age
Telomeres where discovered in the late 1930's and was hailed as one of the major causes of aging. The scientists who identified telomeres and their role in aging was awarded the Nobel Prize.
Telomere are caps at the end of our chromosomes and are vital at keeping our genetic material stable. As we age, these telomere caps shorten making it more difficult for our cells to reproduce, regenerate and repair. Leading to the degenerative effects of aging.
Short telomeres are associated with:
- Increased risk of cancer
- Reduced immune defense
- Cirrhosis
- Lung fibrosis
- Bone marrow failure
