Unraveling the Science of Aging: Telomeres, Methylation, and Beyond

Telomeres: The Guardians of our Genome

• What are Telomeres? Telomeres are protective caps at the end of our chromosomes, akin to the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. They protect our genetic data, making it possible for cells to divide without losing genes.

• Telomeres and Aging: Each time a cell divides, telomeres shorten. Eventually, they become too short to protect the chromosomes, leading to aging cells, which either die or enter a state called senescence.

Methylation: The Epigenetic Marker

• What is Methylation? Methylation is a chemical process where methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. It is a crucial part of epigenetics - factors that influence how genes are expressed.

• Methylation and Aging: Methylation patterns change as we age, influencing gene expression and impacting aging. The study of these patterns, or the 'epigenetic clock,' can indicate biological aging and predict lifespan.
