Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that help maintain DNA integrity during cell division.
With each division, telomeres shorten, eventually leading to cellular aging and dysfunction. This process is linked to aging and the development of age-related diseases.
Researchers are exploring ways to slow telomere shortening and extend cellular lifespan. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress management may influence telomere maintenance.
Scientists are also investigating medical approaches, including telomerase activation, to preserve or extend telomeres. While this research is still developing, it holds potential for improving healthspan and delaying age-related decline.
