Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, are an important component of healthy aging. One study found that vitamin D supplementation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, ...
Although these findings are exciting, it’s too early to start popping high-dose vitamin D in the hope of slowing ageing. The ...
Researchers have identified a common supplement that can slow aging. It may even be in your medicine cabinet already. Science ...
Telomeres are often described as the protective caps of our chromosomes. Over time, telomeres get shorter, and this shortening has been linked to aging, infertility, and heart disease. For years, the ...
Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell's energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion ...
The study examined the impact of weight training on ageing in a random sample of 4,814 men and women, aged 20 to 69, in the US. Researchers analysed the length of 'telomeres'—the protective DNA caps ...
Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...
Some cells that do not produce telomerase are still able to maintain telomere length. Roger Reddel, [5] of the Children's Medical Research Institute in Sydney, Australia, is investigating this ...
