...to longer telomeres," said Elissa Epel, PhD, an associate professor in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and co-author of studies on telomeres. "So while our personal history matters, it is possible that what we do today may matter even more, in terms of protecting our telomeres."
"It tells you how fit you are in relation to the age you are. If you have longer telomeres you are in good shape, if you have shorter telomeres you are less fit for your age and are not in good health" he stated
"The oligonucleotide conjugate compounds of the present invention may be used in methods to inhibit telomerase enzymatic activity. Such methods comprise contacting a telomerase enzyme with a compound of the invention. The oligonucleotide conjugate compounds of the present invention may also be used to inhibit telomerase in cells that express telomerase, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of such cells. Such methods comprise contacting a cell or cells having telomerase activity with a compound of the invention. Cells treated in this manner, which may be cells in vitro, or cells in vivo, will undergo telomere shortening and cease proliferating. Since cancer cells require telomerase activity to proliferate, the compounds of the invention are particularly useful for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, and may be used in therapeutic applications to treat cancer."
