Now, scientists in Israel say they've been able to reverse this process and extend the length of telomeres in a small study involving 26 patients. The participants sat in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for five 90 minutes sessions per week over three months, and as a result, some of their cell's telomeres were extended by up to 20 percent. It's an impressive claim - and something many other researchers...
