(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...
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...
