A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.
What does a telomere have to do with aging?
Telomeres protect the vital information in our DNA
DNA makes up all of the cells in our body. … Telomeres get shorter each time a cell copies itself, but the important DNA stays intact. Eventually, telomeres get too short to do their job, causing our cells to age and stop functioning properly.
This is where we come in. At Bay Health we are committed to the individual and understand that every body type and age, has different needs.
