Is it true that people with more moles live longer? How is this related.
Scientists from King's College London have found that telomeres (sections of chromosomes that allow DNA to reproduce) in people with more moles are much longer, which means that the aging rate is slower.
“Skin health is based on the functioning of stem cells, which, in turn, contribute to the reproduction of the rest of the body's cells,” says Ancha Baranova, a member of the Scientific Council of the Atlas Clinics Network, professor at George Mason University. – For cells of the epidermis and other “transparent” cells, there are no noticeable markers of the formation of new cells, and for melanocytes (pigment cells) that form moles, the visible marker is color. Therefore, moles are considered an indicator of the health of the skin, and therefore the whole body. And the more there are, the longer it retains the ability to recover. “
