caps are an ablative shield
dividing is imperfect
the very edge of DNA is not replicated
thus it gets shorter every time
when they run down you start losing coding DNA
cancer is what we call unchecked cell growth
this usually also means faster rates of mutation
a cell that replicates quickly but has short telomers will run through non coding dna quickly and die
one that has large telomers has more generations in which one o its decendants may mutate a countermeasure
such as producing unchecked amounts of telemorase
the chemical which tells worker proteins to repair telomers
cancer is the ultimate in survival of the fittest parasite
it doesnt need to be more effective for the organism
it is generations of successively increasing demand of unchecked use of anti immune system measures (your immune system can and does kill cancer inside you)
the leading theory is that we should artifially block all telemorase production in the body
cells which produce it can be more easily marked as mutated
telemorase can then be artifically administered on regular intervals, enough to keep the body free from telomere damage
any cancer which does not mutate its ability to produce telemorase will run through its supply faster and quickly die
