The long and the short of it.

Interesting. Several years ago I read a sci-fi novel that centered on telomere therapy and the fight to control it.

Q: How do you tell a male chromosome from a female chromosome?
A: Pull down their genes.

This tidbit was reported in Scientific American in 1999.

Hugh Downs came to Dallas and spoke with some of the scientist at Southwestern Medical center regarding the longevity effects of the enzyme treatment.

The Nobel Prize should awarded to Obummer!

Intriguing, but telomeres about it.

[MetaThought]

The first telomerase activators are already here.
You can even buy them as supplements.

Astragaloside IV, Cycloastragenol, etc.

How well they work is still a big question though.

[Dysart]

Also, studies on resveratrol, which I take, influences it.

There was something in the fruit from the tree of life which stacked the deck in favor of immortality ... science just hasn't found it yet.

[WashingtonSource]

This is not news. People have known about this since way before 1999.

[MHGinTN]

Telomerase must have been on the keyboard, to cause the repeat of segments of this thread article ... ;^)

[blam]

Children of older parents are born with shorter telomeres than children of younger parents.

The subject of this study, the Ashkenazi Jews, have the highest IQ of any other group of people in the world.

80% of the Jews who have immigrated to the US are Ashkenazi Jews.

Astragaloside

I thought that a lubricant.

[ml/nj]

My research shows that cigars and bourbon help preserve the tips of chromosomes. I think these should be distributed free to the populace in any national health care plan that might be implemented.

My research shows that cigars and bourbon help preserve the tips...

Thank you, Mr. Clinton. ;-)

[MetaThought]

Hmmm. I thought resveratrol was a telomerase inhibitor ...

Maybe it can have both effects ?!

[MetaThought]

Astragaloside != Astroglide

Hah!

[Secret Agent Man]

At the same time, apparently the hyperactive gene does not help these people survive natural disasters, lethal accidents, and other unplanned life-ending events.

[ml/nj]

Thank you, Mr. Clinton. ;-)

Wrong guy. My research shows you have to smoke the cigars.

Longevity Tied to Genes That Preserve Tips of Chromosomes

Darn. My parents had the tip of mine removed when I was a baby and I had no say in it.
