“Reduced telomere length can be caused by embryonic cellular damage,” said study co-lead Dr. Yasmyn Winstanley. The ...

New research reveals that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person’s future health and aging.

Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. By adopting stress-reducing habits, you can help preserve them, potentially slowing down aging and improving your health.

Professor Robker said the research, which is published in Nature Communications, also found it is possible to reverse the cellular damage and restore telomere length. "We provide proof-of-concept ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide found that early embryo development affects telomere length, a key marker of aging and chronic disease risk. Maternal health at conception influences this ...

In the 1930s, Muller was surprised to note that telomeres were strangely resistant to mutagenic X-rays. Why are the unique properties of these chromosomal "end caps" so important? Thus ...

Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes that are essential for chromosome stability and cellular proliferation. Telomeric DNA does not encode for ...

While most bacterial DNA is in the form of plasmids, there are some that have linear DNA that contain telomeres. Though the presence of telomeres at the ends of the linear DNA is similar to ...
