experts, u all!
as soon as a cell is born its clock starts ticking towards its death. The more shortening of chromosomal telomeres thr is, the closer it gets towards it demise till it reaches a critical length. If this telomere shortening is controlled or even prevented the cell has a chance to become immortal and stop the whole process of aging. Which is why, researchers are working on the double to try adn take some great advntges of this possible miracle enzyme.
