Telomere Science: How Our Chromosomes Influence Aging

Did you know that human cells lose 30 to 200 base pairs from their telomeres with each division? These protective caps on our chromosomes are key to understanding aging and longevity. As we explore telomere science, get ready to discover its deep significance. Telomeres, the DNA-protein structures at our chromosome ends, are like the plastic tips on shoelaces. They keep our genetic material safe and…
