2/3/2015 – Anti-Aging Innovations Suggest We Need Only to Look Inside Ourselves

Scientists have known about the link between telomeres and cellular aging for decades. In recent years, however, interest in telomeres — and their direct role in the aging process — has exploded. In 2009, a group of scientists was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for their discovery of how telomerase, an enzyme found in the cells, impacts telomere length. Further research indicates that, by activating telomerase, we may be able to slow, stop or perhaps even reverse the telomere shortening that occurs as we age.
