Aging Mechanisms Unraveled
Cells rely on telomeres to protect DNA, but as they shorten, they trigger a response that leads to senescence, effectively halting cell division. Methylation plays a crucial role in gene regulation, but its dysfunction later in life can reveal more about our internal age than our chronological one. The conversation highlights the tragic irony of our body's protective mechanisms ultimately contributing to aging, while researchers explore potential ways to reverse these processes.In this clip
