It is difficult to underestimate the importance of telomerase, an enzyme that is the hallmark of both aging and the uncontrolled cell division associated with cancer. In an effort to understand and ...

Study shows how telomerase can run amok, deleteriously capping damaged DNA, were it not for a first responder to DNA damage. The natural ends of chromosomes appear alarmingly like broken DNA, much as ...

Telomerase promotes proliferation of resting stem cells through a mechanism that does not involve the extension of chromosomal telomeres, researchers report in Nature this week. "This is a completely ...

New research linking telomere shortening to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) offers substantial therapeutic implications for affected patients and MDS research. In a previous study, the current authors ...

A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...
