HMM: Ultra Short Telomeres With Osteoarthritis. “Every time most cells divide their telomere chromosome caps get shorter. When the telomere caps get very short cellular division is inhibited. Cells that can’t divide can not repair damaged tissue. It is not a coincidence that cells around damaged arthritic joints have short telomeres. . . . Lots of researchers investigate a large assortment of diseases of old age. But many of these diseases have a common cause: loss of ability of the body to do repairs. So while the diseases manifest in different ways with different symptoms they could be reversed with a common strategy: restore the body’s ability to do repairs on itself. Cell therapies to deliver youthful cells are a key part of a larger strategy to reverse the aging process and repair aged tissues.” Faster, please.
