Telomeres

Mounting evidence indicates that telomere length declines with age, but dietary and lifestyle factors can impact the rate at which telomeres shorten.

The NASA Twins study - featuring astronaut twins Scott and Mark Kelly - was the perfect space experiment. Scott spent a year in space aboard the International Space Station. Mark remained on Earth. The results?

A new study led by scientists at the University of Montreal Hospital Research Center (CRCHUM) proposes a new model for telomere-initiated cellular aging where tolerance of telomere uncapping eventually results in irreversible non-telomeric genomic DNA damage leading to stable senescence in a multistep process. The study suggests, senescence-associated tumor suppression from telomere shortening requires irreversible genome instability at the single-cell level. This in turn suggests, repairing…

Telomeres have been linked to numerous diseases over the years, but how exactly short telomeres cause diseases and how medicine can prevent telomere erosion are still up for debate.

Telomeres are an interesting piece of the aging puzzle that shows we have more control over our age (biologically at least!) than we thought.

What Foods Shorten Telomeres?

As we age, the protective caps on each strand of our DNA wear down and shorten. But new research has found endurance training protects those caps - called telomeres - from shortening.

Amino acids are the building blocks of almost all biological processes and are used by the body to create thousands of different types of protein molecules. Our research is focused on developing perfect EAA profiles to deliver maximum health benefits in targeted areas to make an impact on your life.
