Identification Of Mechanism Behind Mind-Body Connection Explains How Chronic Emotional Stress Ages The Immune System
BACKGROUND: Every cell contains a tiny clock called a telomere, which shortens each time the cell divides. Short telomeres are linked to a range of human diseases, including HIV, osteoporosis, heart disease and aging. Previous studies show that an enzyme within the cell, called telomerase, keeps immune cells young by preserving their telomere length and ability to continue dividing.
