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 has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...

Study shows how telomerase can run amok, deleteriously capping damaged DNA, were it not for a first responder to DNA damage. The natural ends of chromosomes appear alarmingly like broken DNA, much as ...

Role of Telomeres and Telomerase in the Pathogenesis of Human Cancer. If you have the appropriate software installed, you can download article citation data to the citation manager of your choice.

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 ...

Scientists investigate human telomere length to elucidate aging and diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. In normal mammalian cells, a small telomeric DNA segment is lost after each ...
