Epithalon Telomere Biology

Meaning

Epithalon Telomere Biology refers to the specific study and clinical application of the synthetic tetrapeptide Epithalon, which is known to influence the length and stability of telomeres—the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Telomere shortening is a primary hallmark of cellular aging and is closely linked to age-related decline and hormonal dysregulation. The clinical interest centers on Epithalon’s potential to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for telomere maintenance, thereby supporting cellular longevity.
