Method for extending telomere of cell

Abstract

A method for elongating telomeres of cells comprises steps of: providing physical stimulation directly or indirectly to cells; and culturing a mixture of the cells and a medium for a predetermined time, wherein providing the stimulation directly to the cells comprises applying physical stimulation to the medium containing the cells, and providing the stimulation indirectly to the cells comprises applying physical stimulation to the medium not containing the cells and then mixing the medium and the cells. The method for elongating telomeres of cells is simpler than a conventional method and is superior in terms of time, cost, efficiency, and safety. In addition, the method induces cell division and provides an anti-aging effect, in addition to simply elongating telomeres. Thereby, it is expected that the method can ameliorate and prevent not only problems caused by shortening of telomeres, but also various aging-related diseases and conditions.
