Telomerase on
Telomeres are the caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten each time a cell divides. When they run out, the cell stops dividing and ages. Epithalon turns on the telomerase catalytic subunit in human body cells and lengthens telomeres back toward young lengths. Treated fibroblasts made 10 extra divisions past their normal limit and kept going.
