A new study suggests that people with shorter protective caps at the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, may have a higher risk of developing age-related brain diseases such as stroke ...

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 ...

“This is the first mouse model with truly humanized telomeres because telomerase isn’t expressed in adult tissues in this model,” said Jiyue Zhu, PhD, professor, college of pharmacy and phar ...
