Study shows that lifespan is not directly linked to telomere length in mice
2:14:20 - 2:23:29 (09:09)
A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that laboratory mice have anomalously long telomeres, which contributes to their longer lifespan, as compared to wild mice. However, it was found that while mice do have long telomeres, there is no direct correlation between telomere length and lifespan.
