Cells stop duplicating when telomeres become too short. Therefore telomere length is considered to be an excellent biomarker of tissue renewal capacity and, consequently, of organismal aging.

What is telomerase?
2017/02/13
Telomerase is an enzyme which is able to elongate telomeres and repair short telomeres by re-elongating them. To this end, telomerase adds telomeric repeats to the chromosome ends. In non-pathological conditions telomerase is expressed in early stages of embryo development as well as in certain adult stem cell compartments.
