Replication of a telomere and it's associated proteins. -
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 ...
