Immortality

Daniel 12:2 

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

One thought on “Immortality

  1. Introduction

    Telomeres are protein structures located at the ends of each eukaryotic DNA chromosomal arm. These chromosomal caps are one of the most important structures that preserve the structural integrity of linear DNA during each cycle of replication.[1] Functions of telomeres include protecting the ends of the DNA from binding to one another and to itself, allowing for complete chromosomal replication, and serving as a molecular timer by controlling the lifespan of a eukaryotic cell. Telomeres also prevent the free ends of the chromosome from appearing as DNA double-stranded breaks, which in turn safeguards the ends from accidental DNA repair.[2] In humans, telomeres play a significant role in cellular senescence with major contributions to human aging. Pathologically, dysregulated expression of the telomere synthesis mechanism causes cellular immortality, leading to potential oncogenesis and tumorigenesis
