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 ... -

In this video, the students explain how telomeres can be extended in the absence of telomerase -
At the end of a chromosome, there's a protective tip called a telomere that wears away over time; understanding that is the key to understanding aging. From: DECODING IMMORTALITY http://bit.ly/1vCAsrq -
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Telomeres were first recognized in the late 1930s as important structures on chromosome ends. In the 1970s the sequence of these structures was identified in the ciliated protozoa Tetrahymena by Elizabeth Blackburn. In the ... -
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! -
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...
