An Anti-Aging Forum was held in Nantong, Jiangsu on January 18th, 2018. At the forum, China’s first telomere and telomerase diagnostics agency Jiangxu Kaiqiang Medical Diagnostics Compay *1 announced the official start of its operation. In addition to the United States and Spain, China is the third in the world with capability to conduct accurate detection and analysis of telomere length on a large scale. The agency is staffed with many top scientists in the field of aging. Through detection of telomere and telomerase, premature aging of cells and early cancer etc. could be accurately discovered. Short telomere and rapid telomere shortening are associated with various diseases including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, senility, dementia, diabetes and cancer. These detections could help to identify underlying health risks.

Be more proper to include the official name of this organization here in the Chinese and publication too.

Telomere and telomerase are magical and enable us to understand biological age and to detect health risks at early stage

The anti-aging forum on January 18 focuses on "how long human being could live" and "how we should grow older". The scientists at the forum acknowledged a surprising secret that the telomere length is like the biological clock of the human aging. Individual’s biological age and aging conditions could be evaluated via telomere detection.

Why are telomere and telomerase so magical? At the forum, the renowned scientist Professor Song Yangzhou says: “A healthy human being has telomeres with normal-length. The telomeres in cells shorten at a certain rate. When the rate suddenly increases, it indicates possible health problems of the individual. Doctors could be reminded by detection the telomere length change to look for potential causes such as increased stress, changes in daily life. Telomerase is active at the blastula stage of embryonic development and is less active or undetectable in most matured cells. However, they are found to be highly active in cancer cells. The high active telomerase helps tumor cells avoid deterioration and acquire permanent ability of division. Telomerase is a crucial indicator of cell cancerization. If we could detect abnormal telomerase, we can determine precisely if the cancer cells are activated. Therefore, cancers could be diagnosed accurately by detecting telomerase at onset, and early treatment can reduce the mortality rate of cancer patients.” Professor Song Yangzhou is one of the first scientists to study the regulatory mechanism of cell telomere length and telomerase activity, and the stem cell pluripotency.

Telomere and telomerase were discovered by American scientists Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak in 2009. They shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009.

Telomere is a small segment of DNA-protein complex that exits at the end of a linear chromosome in eukaryotic cells. It protects chromosome integrity and controls cell division cycles. Telomerase is a nuclei-protein reverse enzyme that promotes telomere elongation in cells. It can lengthen the shortened telomeres and enhance in-vitro cell proliferation. Scientists also found that telomere length, telomere shortening rate and telomerase activity are closely linked to human aging, cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This finding is of great significance to humankind and has prompted more scientists to begin applying it to the healthcare and anti-aging industry.

A team of world-class scientist

At the forum, Jiangxu Kaiqiang Medical Diagnostics Compay., Ltd. announced the official launch of the telomere and telomerase detection project and the team that includes renowned top scientists in the field of aging R&D - Professor Song Yangzhou, Zhao Yong and Ma Wenbin. They have studied for over 20 years in the field of anti-aging medicine such as telomere and telomerase, stem cell applications. They have achieved may leading scientific research results.

The chief science adviser, Professor Song Yangzhou, looks like a thirty something fellow at the first sight. However, his eyes behind the glasses seem to be able to see through the human body. He holds a PhD degree from Tufts University in Boston, USA in 1995 and completed postdoctoral fellowship in Harvard University and MIT in 1998. He was Assistant Professor, Tenured Professor, Chair and Director of Molecular Drug Research and Development and High-throughput Research Center in Baylor College of Medicine. He returned to China via the first wave of “ Recruitment Program of Global Experts” by Central Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and then served as Dean of School of Life Sciences at the Sun Yat-Sen University. He is also the chief scientist of the National “973 Project”.
