Longevity science studies the biological mechanisms behind ageing and how we can extend healthy lifespan. At the centre of this research sit the telomeres.
What are telomeres?
Telomeres are protective DNA caps at the ends of our chromosomes. Every time a cell divides they get a little shorter.
Why it matters
Understanding telomere dynamics helps clinicians design preventive, patient-oriented protocols for healthy ageing.
Healthy longevity is not about adding years to life, but life to years.
