A recently released study from Maria Blasco and her team of researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) shows that the rate of telomere shortening is strongly correlated with the maximum lifespan of animal species. Telomeres Telomeres, which are simply repeating segments of DNA on the ends of our chromosomes, serve two critical...
