Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Researcher Elizabeth Blackburn’s discovery of telomeres (which won her a 2009 Nobel Prize) is still providing cutting edge insight into our longevity. When our telomeres shorten, we age faster, express negative genetic traits, and are more vulnerable to stress and disease. When we de-stress and create favorable conditions, we produce an enzyme called telomerase, which lengthens telomeres, prevents disease, and extends life.

Telomeres are DNA sequences and proteins at the end of a chromosome that protect it from becoming frayed. They are the protective caps that safeguard our genetic code. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which live in the nucleus of each cell. Each chromosome contains thousands of genes that make up our genetic code. Each time a cell divides, the protective chromosomal telomeres can either shorten, or, if the conditions are right, lengthen.
