you can't inject it but you can get supplements to encourage it's synthesis and activity but to a very limited level
However you should keep in mind that that the telomeres are by no means the only mechanism of agy. Hundreds of other mechanism play into the aging process.
And cells being immortal is called cancer btw, you don't want that

There are some that use fetal tissue to try and extend telemeres.
Aka Wick of life
Im hopefully there are other paths

Do you think that cell after divisions have monoid consciousness of first cell experience?

How is it cancer if they don't have a mutation?

>>11133791
I don't think so.

other than heart cells and germinal cells and a few other exceptions all body cells will die at one point or another and get replaced by other cells. I should not have said cancer, but generally cells that refuse to die will become huge in numbers and become a tumour that tends to have malignant behaviour
A mutation that leads to cancer will also give the cancer cells the ability to be very hard to kill otherwise an oncologist's job would be quite easy

Strangely enough, an immortalized human would evolve over his lifetime to have more rapidly replicating cell lines in his body, which of course would probably get lethal quickly and sink the entire little ecosystem. But it's funny to think of the body as a collection of organisms.

An immortal would look like Attis from FO; Brotherhood of Steel
