Telomerase enzyme mapping may help fight cancer
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have for the first time mapped out the enzyme Telomerase and say the mapping of telomerase may help in the fight against cancer.
New study shows omega-3s may lengthen telomeres
Data published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity indicated supplements of omega-3 fatty acids may improve the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids and that four months of supplementation with omega-3s were associated with longer telomeres in immune system cells.
Study finds injectable telomerase virus increases lifespan of mice
A recent study conducted at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre has found that a gene therapy is able to increase the length of telomeres in mice, thereby increasing their lifespan by up to 24 percent.
Study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids stave off heart disease and help telomeres
It has been known for years that omega-3 fatty acids (found in certain types of oily fish) help to stave off heart disease, though the reasons why have been largely unknown until now.
Antioxidant Therapy linked to telomerase production and heart failure treatment
A study conducted by the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Kyushu University’s Medical Institute of Bioregulation in Beppu, Japan has connected oxidative stress and the development of heart failure to telomeres and telomerase activity.
