Lobsters 'the immortality'
|

Scientists believe that the lobster body contains a chemical that help them to live so long, and this could be a factor in access to eternal life.

Although lobster is still more likely to die when it is infected or hijacked, but theoretically they can to live very long. With lobster, to live longer does not mean dying.
Scientists Telegraph quoted Simon Watt what he said that in shrimp cells there is a hero named Telomerase enzyme. This enzyme DNA sequence is not destroyed when cells are replicated.
When those cells in the organism are died or are replaced, the DNA strands will become shorter. DNA sequence is in creating gradual erosion is the main cause leading to aging, because the range of genetic material badly damaged to be able to create completed new cells.
Enzyme Telomerase prevents DNA damaged and repaired by Telomeres in cell, this means that the cells can be copied many times.
Telomerase studies may support the use of enzymes to increase lifespan and prevent cancer.
Lobsters typically weigh 0.5-1 kg. But in 2009, a lobster caught off in the coast of Maine, USA, weighing nearly 9 kg. It is estimated giant shrimp with longevity up to 140 years. |
