During the early stages of meiosis, telomeres assemble into a structure that looks like the stems of a floral bouquet — the telomere bouquet. The main role of the telomere bouquet was thought to ...

One protein appears to play an integral role in protecting telomeres, and possibly preventing cancerous growth, according to a study published this week in Science. Chromosomes with fluorescently ...

Researchers are delving deeper into the role of leukocyte telomere length as it relates to stroke, dementia, and depression ...

The study suggests that while genetic factors play a role, the environment also significantly impacts telomere dynamics. For example, stress, diet, and exposure to toxins are known to affect ...

When they inhibited ATR, the number of new telomeres nearly tripled. In the process of pinpointing ATR’s role, the researchers stumbled upon other cellular surprises. For example, they knew that ...

As such, it has been posited that the telomere shortening rate is a more reliable predictor of lifespan rather than the initial TL. Nutrition’s Role in Health and Beauty Nutrition plays a vital ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a potential breakthrough in the fight ...

New data suggest venetoclax may offset the negative prognostic impact of short telomeres in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A pair of studies examining the role of venetoclax ...
