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 -

http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2013/09/108886/lifestyle-changes-may-lengthen-telomeres-measure-cell-aging New study shows for the first time that lifestyle changes -- changes in diet, exercise, stress management and social support -- can result in longer tel... -
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Telomeres are the chromosomes end-part, that are needed to protect chromosome ends. Due to the way chromosomes are copied, these telomeres shorten with each round of cell division. This shortening is kept in check by the en... -
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Does stress speed up the aging process at a genetic level? Our cells are constantly aging. When cell divide some telomere is lost but if it becomes too short, that cell can no longer replicate and eventual dies. Elissa Epel... -

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... -
Telomeres are an essential part of human cells that affect how our cells age. Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. Without the coating, shoelaces become fra...
