Telomere Protection

Meaning

Telomere Protection refers to the complex biological and cellular processes aimed at preserving the length and structural integrity of telomeres, the repetitive DNA sequences that cap the ends of linear chromosomes. Since telomere shortening is a primary hallmark of cellular aging and senescence, their protection is central to maintaining genomic stability and extending the replicative capacity of cells. This concept links molecular longevity mechanisms directly to overall hormonal health and wellness. Maintaining telomere length is considered a key strategy in anti-aging medicine.
