Explicar el papel de los telómeros en el envejecimiento celular y sus implicaciones para la longevidad humana.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that protect them from degradation and fusion. With each cell division, telomeres shorten, and when they reach a critical length, the cell enters senescence or undergoes apoptosis. Telomere length is thus associated with cellular aging. Shortened telomeres have been linked to various age-related diseases and reduced lifespan. Understanding telomere dynamics offers insights into human aging processes and has implications for potential interventions to promote longevity and healthspan.<end_of_turn><eos>
