Default What's the name of the cell that ages us?
Theres a cell in our body, that when we are born, the cell is longer and it gets shorter as we get older.

I'm going crazy. I used to know the name of this cell.

Somebody educate me please!!!!

I was going nuts. I've been saying (for years). I have to get my telomeres to get longer.

And yesterday I was thinking T cells?? No, not T Cells, WHAT ARE THE NAME OF THOSE CELLS??

You saved my sanity.

Thanks to you and all (and Mrs. D for the link).
