A new study suggests that people with shorter protective caps at the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, may have a higher risk of developing age-related brain diseases such as stroke ...

“This is the first mouse model with truly humanized telomeres because telomerase isn’t expressed in adult tissues in this model,” said Jiyue Zhu, PhD, professor, college of pharmacy and phar ...

Researchers analyze the following parts of DNA to determine a person's biological age: Diet, exercise, stress, smoking, sleep, and physical environment all affect a person's telomeres and DNA ...
