Telomeres are such an important discovery and a key to our aging. The DNA molecule is packaged into In the nucleus of each cell, and is found in thread-like structures called chromosomes. Protecting each of your chromosomes at the end is a structure ca... -

Watch how stress effects our genes! The genetic structures called telomeres protect the ends of our chromosomes from fraying. As we age, our telomeres shorten. Stress by way of stress hormones accelerate the shortening of telomeres. A telomere is a reg... -
A study investigating susceptibility to the common cold found people with shorter tips on their chromosomes - called telomeres - in white blood cells were more likely to develop symptoms. There is a revolutionary telomere product available now that is ... -
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Does stress speed up the aging process at a genetic level? Our cells are constantly aging. When cell divide some telomere is lost but if it becomes too short, that cell can no longer replicate and eventual dies. Elissa Epel... -

Can cells just divide and divide forever? Not if telomeres can help it! Find out more in this video. Head on over to khanacademy.org or the khanacademymedicine YouTube channel to see some really informative videos! -
As normal cells divide, the ends of their chromosomes (telomeres) progressively shorten until eventually the cells reach senescence or undergo apoptosis. Cancers, which disproportionally kill more individuals in the 65 years or above age group, often o...
