THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HAYFLICK LIMIT, TELOMERES AND TELOMERASE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGING AND PATHOLOGY (REVIEW)

The Hayflick limit, telomeres and telomerase are the subject of many studies and researchers are looking for ways to modulate their function in order to treat cancer, slow aging and increase longevity. They play a critical role in cellular aging and the development of pathologies. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these processes can provide insight into diseases associated with aging and potential interventions to slow aging and improve overall health.
