A new study suggests that people with shorter protective caps at the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, may have a ...

In contrast, most human tumors express telomerase, resulting in stabilized telomere length. These observations indicate that telomere maintenance is essential to the proliferation of tumor cells.

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

The FDA recently granted EXG-34217 Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation.

Figure 1: Strategy for detecting inter-telomeric copying of DNA. Figure 2: Detection of plasmid tag DNA at the telomere by FISH. We confirmed the FISH data by Southern-blot analysis of integrated ...

Some cells that do not produce telomerase are still able to maintain telomere length. Roger Reddel, [5] of the Children's Medical Research Institute in Sydney, Australia, is investigating this ...

But a new study finds that, despite this apparent rebirth, younger forests may not offer those birds the same quality of ...

The team’s study Modification of the telomerase gene with human regulatory sequences resets mouse telomeres to human length appears in Nature Communications. Globally, scientists are working to ...
