SHR # 2937:: Breakthrough Telomere Study Confers Long-Term Immunity - Prof. Alessio Lanna, PhD - The rate in which your telomeres shorten has been shown in studies to impact your lifespan. Telomeres are the tool box for DNA repair. As DNA gets damaged it gets the spare parts from telomeres that look like shoe laces on the ends of the helix strands of DNA. Once spare parts run out and your telomeres are gone, DNA starts to mutate. Science showed that an enzyme called telomerase prolonged the integrity of the length of telomeres creating a cottage industry of drugs and supplements that proposed to increase telomerase production. Well It turns out telomerase is NOT the only way to preserve and elongate telomeres. This s breakthrough science you won't hear anywhere else.
