I agree. To synthesise a protein it have to go through unfolding the DNA and so it means that one telomer have to be shortened and so the synthesis in number probably will decrease ? Thinking in term of skin . since the skin have a low turn over and at the same time is exposed to UV and oxidation from oxygen exposure , some crosslinking of collagen might take place.
I guess, if you say so.... Got me. My daughter has a degree in Molecular Genetics, I however do not know shit about biology and am not really that interested in the nitty-gritty aspects of it.
Skin has quite a high turnover rate for understandable reasons. Epidermal cells are replaced every 20 days or so.
Thank you for your input which made me look for more information . Interesting nervous cells and lens cell are for life time Body cell turn over. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
