This has been linked to the loss of the ends of chromosomes called telomeres. Some cells live forever in the male sperm-producing cells , the cells in the intestines that make the villi for absorbing food, and tumor cells. These cells all have an enzyme called telomerase. Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn at University of California, San Francisco won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of telomerase. Astralagus stimulates telomerase in cells including immune cells.
