No sooner does the hardware begin operating than its parts begin wearing out and its journey to the junkyard begins. Cells are not spared this fate, and one of the functions that takes the most out of them is the job of processing food...
...inert. One thing they almost always appeared to do was grow shorter. Each time a cell divided, the daughter cells it produced had a little less telomere to play with. Finally, when the cell reached its Hayflick limit of 100 or so replications, the telomere was reduced to a mere nub. At that point, the cell quit replicating. Once it did, researchers theorized, the genes previously covered by the telomere became exposed and active, producing proteins that triggered the tissue deterioration associated with aging...
