I have noted that over the last nine years, taking telomerase activators in my patients can lead to increases but that this does not result in continuous lengthening. Now, we understand why this is the case.
Telomere research comes in three flavors
What we need is to imagine different types of questions that incorporate more meaningful queries; garbage in, garbage out, in other words. Time to ask better questions!
Mice CAN get muscular dystrophy after all
Research suggests turns out that mice can get the disease but that their longer telomeres often protect them and produce a mild disease form or phenotype
Does having acne mean you will live longer?
Since sex hormones like testosterone are positively associated with acne AND with increased telomerase activity, the study probably just captured this effect.
Pros and cons of a randomized trial
The problem of a randomized controlled trial is that it doesn’t explain mechanism or pertain to individual subjects
