Is it possible to lengthen telomeres?
Researchers say they have found a way to lengthen human telomeres - the protective caps at the end of chromosomes. ... However, telomeres become shorter with each cell division and can reach a point where they are no longer able protect the chromosomes, leaving them open to deterioration.
Telomerase, also called terminal transferase,is a ribonucleoprotein that adds a species-dependent telomere repeat sequence to the 3' end of telomeres. A telomere is a region of repetitive sequences at each end of eukaryotic chromosomes in most eukaryotes. Telomeres protect the end of the chromosome from DNA damage or from fusion with neighbouring chromosomes. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster lacks telomerase, but instead uses retrotransposons to maintain telomeres.
Telomere extension turns back aging clock in cultured human cells, study finds
Telomerase is an enzyme that lengthens telomeres and keeps them from wearing out too fast or too early. But with constant cell division, telomerase levels are depleted, enabling telomeres to shorten. ... Because while telomerase does lengthen telomeres, in humans with cancer, the enzyme helps existing tumors grow faster.
The Hayflick limit or Hayflick phenomenon is the number of times a normal human cell population will divide before cell division stops.

What is the main function of the dendrites?
Dendrites are the segments of the neuron that receive stimulation in order for the cell to become active. They conduct electrical messages to the neuron cell body for the cell to function.
What is a dendrite and an axon?
Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons.

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man
After Onan's brother Er died, his father Judah told him to fulfill his duty to his brother by entering into a levirate marriage with his brother's widow Tamar to give her offspring. Religion professor Tikva Frymer-Kensky has pointed out the economic repercussions of a levirate marriage: any son born to Tamar would be deemed the heir of the deceased Er, and able to claim the firstborn's double share of inheritance. However, if Er were childless, or only had daughters, Onan would have inherited as the oldest surviving son. When Onan had sex with Tamar, he withdrew before his orgasm and "spilled his seed [or semen] on the ground", since any child born would not legally be considered his heir.

Following Super PAC Support, Private Prison Company Wins Trump Admin Contract
By Maya Gold
in August of 2016 -- back when most election polls had Hillary Clinton clinching the 2016 presidential election -- the Obama administration announced that it would end the Justice Department’s (DOJ) reliance on private prisons. The announcement came seven days after the DOJ’s inspector general (IG) called on the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to more rigorously oversee its contracts with private prison companies. The IG’s report found that private prisons at the federal level consistently fail to measure up to federal standards in preventing dangerous conditions, intercepting contraband, and ensuring internal accountability for staff misconduct.

When in Texas, what time should you get in line at Franklin's BBQ?
Franklin doesn't even open until 11:00am, but the line starts forming around 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning. The line grows and grows until the doors open and then moves slowly until they run out of meat. When it's gone, it's gone. The idea of waiting up to four hours for lunch is absurd to some.
Who benefits from pork barrel spending?
While it may help some bills get passed through the legislative process, pork barrel spending is often considered a wasteful use of taxpayer funds because it benefits select constituents of Congressional members rather than the country as a whole.
