New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...

A study reveals that a protein called RPA is essential for maintaining chromosome stability by stimulating telomerase. New findings from the-Madison suggest that problems with a key protein that helps ...

Telomeres are the structures that protect the ends of chromosomes. The ability of tumor cells to continue dividing indefinitely, as if they were immortal, depends on telomeres When telomeres are ...

Scientists investigate human telomere length to elucidate aging and diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In normal mammalian cells, a small telomeric DNA segment is lost after each ...

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 ...

Imagine your DNA as a set of shoelaces. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the ends of those shoelaces, preventing them from fraying and unraveling. Structurally, telomeres are repetitive ...

An international research team led by Hiroki Shibuya at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has ...

Telomeres are the "caps" that protect the ends of DNA strands from being destroyed by a cell. They are made up of areas of repeated DNA sequences combined with specific proteins at the ends of ...
