Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the complex role of telomeres in human aging and cancer, emphasizing that current research faces challenges due to limitations in animal models and measurement techniques.
  • It highlights that both DNA damage and the loss of telomere DNA during cell replication contribute to aging, with variations in telomere length linked to disease risk.
  • The authors propose the "Telomere Erosion in Disposable Soma" theory, suggesting that telomere shortening plays a dual role in aging and cancer, influenced by evolutionary and biological factors.]
