What is Telomeres, Telomerase, and Cancer Insights about?
The document discusses telomeres, telomerase, and their relationship to aging and cancer. Telomeres shorten with each cell division, eventually causing cellular senescence. Telomerase maintains telomere length by adding DNA repeats, allowing cells to avoid senescence and divide indefinitely. While most somatic cells lack telomerase, it is active in germ cells, stem cells, and nearly all cancer cells, allowing them to proliferate unchecked. Reactivating telomerase in normal cells extends their lifespan, sugg
