Some scientists think by grafting new DNA on their ends, we can avoid aging.
They are longer in cancer cells and reproductive cells than in other types of cells, which might explain why some types of cells can divide more often before dying. Repeating strings of DNA, they shorten every time a cell divides, eventually becoming too short for division to occur. Some scientists think by grafting new DNA on their ends, we can avoid aging. FTP, name these strands of DNA which cap every chromosome.
