Telomeres — the “caps” on the end of chromosomes that protect the DNA from damage — have been associated with greater longevity. In theory, longer telomeres should allow a cell to divide ...

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an enzyme called telomerase to help mitigate this loss, but 10% to 15% ...
