New research reveals that telomere shortening varies among premature aging disorders, challenging the belief that it’s a ...

A new paper describes how scientists used the tool to identify an important role for TRIM24 in mediating telomere repair after cells divide.

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap - the telomere - is worn away. Most cells use ...

A study by Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) researchers reveals a new group of proteins that guide the powerful ...

A £10 million Wellcome Trust-funded project seeks to create artificial human genomes. Technology Networks explored the ...

Telomeres — the “caps” on the end of chromosomes that protect the DNA from damage — have been associated with greater longevity. In theory, longer telomeres should allow a cell to divide ...

A team of Australian scientists has identified a group of proteins that could transform approaches to treating cancer and age ...

Telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, are an important component of healthy aging. One study found that vitamin D supplementation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres ...
