What to look for: Symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children One of the early signs of diabetes in children is increased urination and thirst. When blood-sugar is high it triggers a reaction in the body that pulls fluid from tissues.
Telomeres are caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect your genes from being eroded each time a cell divides. Specifically they are repeating bases and proteins at the tips of chromosomes.s the length of a cell increases, its volume increases faster than its surface area. The resulting decrease in the cell's ratio of surface area to volume makes it more difficult for the cell to move needed materials in and waste products out.
When cells want to keep dividing, they do have a mechanism to lengthen their telomeres. They use a special enzyme called telomerase. So, a fetus has active telomerase in each of its cells. Telomerase will add short tandem repeats to the ends of chromosomes so that a cell can keep dividing. One an organism reaches maturity, telomerase is no longer made. Cancer wants to keep dividing.
