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 ... -

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... -
