The cessation of telomerase activity as we age limits the number of times a cell can replicate. current research on telomerases is particularly useful in the fight against cancer. This is because, Cancer cells employ a mechanism that activates telomerases, which leads to uncontrolled cellular division.

The body's stages of life are intimately correlated with telomerase activity. During the development of the embryo, the enzyme is active. High telomerase activity, which allows cells to divide endlessly, is a characteristic of cancer cells. In 85–95 percent of malignancies, telomerase is active (3,4).

const2013 [10]
Olfaction is not a tactile sensation, nor it's related to chewing food.

Olfactory receptors are chemical receptors in the nasal cavity that react with different odors creating the sense of smell that is interpreted in the brain.

So, olfaction is a chemical sensation that we experience while inhaling different odors through our noses.
