Scientists create ‘’supermice” that can resist cancer and age

By injecting mice with the protein, telomerase, scientists have been able to slow the aging process of the mice by 40% and have made them resistant to cancer, two things caused by telemerase. Previous experiments on the subject have proved the mice to become more susceptible to cancer.
Telomerase are proteins located on the end of your DNA, which prevent DNA from merging with itself and assists in the production of new DNA. As we age, it begins to deteriorate, leading to merging of DNA, which causes cancer, and inprecise replication, which causes the effects of aging.
Because bacterial genomes are circular, all experiments must be conducted on plants and animals.
