MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Geron Corporation (Nasdaq:GERN) today announced the publication of preclinical data on TAT2, a small molecule telomerase activator. The studies show that human CD8 ...

Researchers have the molecular structure of telomerase. This should speed up the discovery of the best activators and inhibitors of telomerase. Good activators of telomerase has been shown to boost ...

Telomerase and telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) confer cancer cells sustained proliferation and survival potentials. Targeting telomerase or hTERT is a novel anti-cancer strategy. However, ...

The next big thing in anti-aging? Developed by top scientist Dr. Bill Andrews, Telo-Vital launches at biohacking conference spotlighting longevity. Telo-Vital targets the body's master key of aging, ...

Activation of telomerase, a dedicated reverse transcriptase that synthesizes telomeric sequences, is strongly associated with cancer, and recent observations confirm that telomeres and telomerase ...

Telomeres, posted at the edges of chromosomes, protect DNA from damage. The telomerase enzyme helps maintain the length and integrity of telomeres and acts as an aging regulator. Researchers have now ...

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 ...

Research has recently uncovered a crucial step in the telomerase enzyme catalytic cycle. This catalytic cycle determines the ability of the human telomerase enzyme to synthesize DNA. Research from the ...

IN A MAJOR ADVANCE toward understanding a key biomolecule, scientists have solved the structure of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, the enzyme that maintains the length and integrity of telomeres, ...

RIKEN researchers solved a decades-old mystery of how roundworms maintain telomeres without a telomerase RNA gene. They ...
