With each round of DNA replication, our telomeres become shorter and shorter. So, how do we stop this ever increasing shortening of our DNA? The answer is Telomerase; which is also thought to be a key player in determining lifespan. -
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... -
