Before cells divide, they replicate the double-stranded DNA of each chromosome. The replication machinery does a good job of copying the nucleotide sequences until it gets to the telomeres ...

Researchers have discovered how telomeres (the protective caps at the end of chromosomes) help prevent abnormal genetic ...

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and Linköping University in Sweden have discovered how cells prevent ...

Telomeres (tinted red) protect chromosomes like the plastic tips on shoelaces. The length of telomeres may be a marker for longevity. Carol and Mike Werner / PHOTO RESEARCHERS, INC In Greek myth ...

Telomeres are special DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes that gradually shorten as cells divide, triggering cell senescence, death, or cancer when shortened to critical levels.

When evaluating the best telomere supplement for longevity, it's crucial to assess the ingredients, not just the label. Advanced Telomere Support includes a blend of well-researched nutrients and ...

A recent study led by researchers from the Universities of Jyväskylä, Tampere, and Helsinki, along with the Finnish Institute ...
