Telomeres, the tiny units of DNA at the very end of each chromosome, shorten over time because they cannot fully replicate each time the cell divides. Hence, as you get older, your telomeres get shorter and shorter. But a growing body of research is showing that certain nutrients play a huge role in protecting, orContinue reading “Slow the aging process by lengthening your telomeres”

Pursuing longevity: Epigenetic clock and cellular senescence
Epigenetic clock analysis of cellular senescence According to a molecular biomarker of aging known as epigenetic clock,[14] the three major types of cellular senescence, namely replicative senescence, oncogene-induced senescence and DNA damage-induced senescence are distinct because induction of replicative senescence (RS) and oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) were found to be accompanied by epigenetic aging of primaryContinue reading “Pursuing longevity: Epigenetic clock and cellular senescence”
