Telomeres don’t really do anything, and they appear very simple: they consist of a long stretch of six DNA bases, TTAGGG, repeated hundreds of times, end-to-end. All our chromosomes end with ...
One of the most intriguing structures in all of biology, the telomere resides at the endpoints of the chromosomes. These repetitive sections of DNA (which repeat the genetic “code” TTAGGG) solve one ...
In the recent decades, there has been an increase in the aging population across the world coupled with declining birth rates and an increased lifespan of individuals. The proportion of the ...
