Telomerase is an enzyme that longs telomeres, which are fundamental repeats at the ends of chromosomes whose length is associated with cellular aging.

What are telomeres?

Telomeres are specific long tandem repeats located at the ends of all chromosomes in the cells.

These repeats (telomeres) are fundamental during cell growth and cellular aging.

It has been shown that telomerase can avoid the shortness of telomeres and thus can be used to slow cellular aging.
