New research from the University of Maryland and the National Institutes of Health reveals a new role for the enzyme telomerase. Telomerase's only known role in normal tissue was to protect certain ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

A new study shows that TERT, a component of telomerase, shuttles between nuclear compartments during the cell cycle. TERT localization is disrupted in cancer and following ionizing radiation, perhaps ...

It is difficult to underestimate the importance of telomerase, an enzyme that is the hallmark of both aging and the uncontrolled cell division associated with cancer. In an effort to understand and ...

Recent research has uncovered a fascinating mechanism in the nematode worm C. elegans that could have profound implications ...

Telomerase promotes proliferation of resting stem cells through a mechanism that does not involve the extension of chromosomal telomeres, researchers report in Nature this week. "This is a completely ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified a previously unknown role for the enzyme telomerase. Until now, the only known role for ...

Telomerase is an enzyme that maintains the DNA at the ends of our chromosomes, known as telomeres. In the absence of telomerase activity, every time our cells divide, our telomeres get shorter. This ...

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 ...
