Telomeres are such an important discovery and a key to our aging. The DNA molecule is packaged into In the nucleus of each cell, and is found in thread-like structures called chromosomes. Protecting each of your chromosomes at the end is a structure ca... -
(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... -

Studies show that telomere length correlates with cellular aging. Scientists have observed that when telomeres are shorter, disease and death are near. I highly recommend this test! Please leave a comment below this video and we will be sure to respond... -
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... -
What are telomeres and how do they influence aging? HSPH scientist William Mair explains the latest research in this clip from Living Longer and Healthier Lives: The Science Behind Healthy Aging, presented by The Forum at Harvard School of Public Healt... -
Sandy Chang, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine and of Pathology, gives a lecture entitled, The Long and Short of It: Telomeres in Aging and Cancer, during the Yale Claude D. Pepper Symposium Aging Research at Yale: Past, Present and F... -
Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider, and Jack Szostak will share the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on telomeres and telomerase. Dr. Bruce Stillman, President of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and a former colleague of Carol G... -
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...
