The Hayflick limit.

January 4th, 2009

Telomeres hang out at the end of our chromosomes, and you know what, A Japanese study has suggested that age can be determined through analysis of a persons telomere length.

So long as your DNA is good baby

Elsewhere, it is suggested that shortening and depletion of the telomere leads to cell death.
So hay let us consider stopping the shotening.
Now that would be a good idea.
We have considered for a while and looked at some wiki stuff and in a related article, there is a link between revitalising the telomere and tumor growth, am i making this up?

Chromosome with telomeres

The word chromosome comes from the Greek χρῶμα (chroma, color)
What about Telomere?
