<< CNIO scientists have created mice with telomeres that are longer than those of the unmodified species, show fewer signs of molecular ageing and a have a lower incidence of cancer. Avoiding genetic manipulation to lengthen telomeres offers a new way to delay the ageing process without altering the genes. Hyper-long telomeres do not cause long-term deleterious effects in mice >>
<< This new technique based on epigenetic changes (..) avoids the manipulation of genes in order to delay molecular ageing >>
