Re: Telomeres and aging

In you are talking about aging of the face, specifically, perhaps 90% of the visual changes are attributable to UV radiation. Can longer telomeres help with that?

>We can not at this time say it is impossible to halt aging. We can only say no one has been able to do it so far.<

Slowing it down ought to be doable, but I’m pessimistic about the possibility of halting it. Aging is (IMO) just another name for an increase in entropy; hence, trying to halt it is tantamount to stopping entropy in its tracks. Good luck with that!
