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! -
Learn about how telomeres are used to determine biological age. -
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... -

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... -
