INSIGHT

Aging Is A Telomere Problem Not A Date

  • Aging is driven by cellular telomere shortening, not calendar years.
  • Telomeres cap chromosomes and when they shorten cells become senescent, producing inflammation that accelerates whole-body aging.

Lobster Telomerase Explains Their Longevity

  • Lobsters maintain high telomerase in many tissues so they continually rebuild telomeres.
  • That ongoing telomerase allows lifelong cell division, regeneration, fertility, and extreme longevity in lobsters.

Telomerase Has A Double Edge In Humans

  • Humans largely shut off telomerase in adulthood except in stem, reproductive, and cancer cells.
  • Because cancer hijacks telomerase, indiscriminate telomerase boosting carries theoretical cancer risk.
