5,000-year-old trees maintain their telomeres in a controlled range
Extreme longevity in long-lived tree species doesn’t result in unopposed telomere elongation

people who did moderate exercise had higher telomerase activity and longer telomeres than those that did none or too much.
If together, ATM kinase and p53 decide that the DNA is beyond repair, the cell will undergo apoptosis as orchestrated by p53.
Although I understand the “how” of refracted sunlight creating rainbows and the “how” of telomere erosion in stem cells causing aging, I don’t yet grasp the whys.
We are NOT in control of our micronutrients and cellular signaling and that is good thing. The system is so remarkably complex and integrated that it would be like asking a deaf person to write and conduct a symphony.
If you had lower telomerase activity, then you had a higher risk of Type2 Diabetes and all the changes associated with getting fat.
