Telomere biology in aging and Cancer
Article Abstract:
Cell turnover mechanism replaces the damaged cells used for the maintenance and causes the aging of human body. Division of cells to increase the immunity is restricted by the probability of cancer. "Replicative aging" limits the counting of cell divisions in telomeres that counts the cell divisions at the end of the chromosomes.

A role for stem cell biology in the physiological and pathological aspects of aging
Article Abstract:
Function of stem cells that regenerate the tissues and organs, and which can be used in the prevention of disease are discussed. A process to observe the nature of Neural Stem Cells to decrease the aging process of brain is discussed along with the steps to determine the stem cell in preventing a disease.
