It's probably actually because she has two copies of a particular gene that is associated with a strong likelihood to live to 100 years of age. Specifically, the gene is believed to reduce telomere degradation, which is why anything ever dies.
Überbordendes Selbstbewusstsein und langer Atem ist das A und O. Schröder ist auch wieder voll dabei. Von Lafontaine, dem Oskar von SaHra, ganz zu schweigen. Ein Hoch auf solche Telomere.
Maybe raise the retirement age to 75 once we find out Ozempic repairs telomere chains too. Also we'd ban plastic it's all inert glass bottles we are going back to bar fights with knives.
The rest of the thread talks better than I could about adaptations like telomere length and tumour suppressors, but all those adaptations come at a cost. One that is probably more acceptable to whales.
5. Short telomeres The telomeres are the bits on the end of your chromosomes that keep it from 'unraveling'. A shorter telomere in long-lived animals would decrease the number of times that cell lineage can duplicate, reducing the accumulated risk at the cost of needing more stem cells.
Individuals with short telomeres should be at increased risk for cancer, since short telomeres lead to genomic instability – a hallmark of cancer. However, individuals with long telomeres also display...

Ja stimmt. Ich habe den englischen Post zusammenfassend verbreiten wollen. Belege gibt es ja im Artikel. Das die Telomere verkürzt werden ist auch schon länger bekannt. Ich dachte so liest es vielleicht der ein oder andere zusätzlich 😉
