Protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division, serving as a biological marker of cellular aging and overall longevity.
Telomeres function like the plastic tips on shoelaces, preventing chromosome ends from fraying or fusing. As telomeres shorten with age and cellular division, cells lose their ability to replicate effectively, contributing to aging and disease. Lifestyle factors including exercise, nutrition, stress management, and sleep quality influence the rate of telomere shortening.
