Blog Post #1: How are Scientists Working to Increase the Length of Telomeres

What enzyme are scientists using to shorten Telomere degradation? What experiments have scientists ran in order to find out more about the effect of Telomere length on the aging of a cell? Have scientists experimented with the Telomeres of both HELA cancer cells and ordinary cancer cells? What discoveries are scientists implementing into the research for pro-longed life or anti-aging through the use of increased Telomere length? What exact effect or effects do telomeres have on cells and how they divide? Why do telomeres degrade as the cell divides? Do telomeres come in different lengths for each person or cell and how does/would it affect the process for anti-aging or the process of discovering it?
