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... -
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... -
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. -
BIR plays a role in telomere maintenance in the absence of telomerase activity. -
Telomeres explained as an analogy to aglets, the tips that keep shoe laces from unravelling. Glutathione slows down telomere shortening. -
