Beyond Telomerase: The Quest for Chromosome Immortality
Recent research challenges the long-standing understanding of the end-replication problem in DNA, revealing two distinct issues rather than one. Half a century ago, scientists Jim…

Cancer, aging-related diseases, and other illnesses are closely tied to an important enzyme called “telomerase.” UCLA researchers report in the journal Cell the deepest scientific…
Scientists from Moscow State University (MSU) working in an international team of researchers identified the structure of one of the key regions of telomerase –…
Scientists from UCLA have produced the clearest-ever images of telomerase. This new research could lead to new strategies for treating disease, aging, and cancer. An…
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered an on-and-off “switch” in cells that may hold the key to healthy aging. In our…
New research from Yale University found that simultaneous inhibition of both telomerase and p21 inhibited tumor growth in mice. Yale School of Medicine and Yale…
UCLA and UC Berkeley researchers have completed the first visual map of the telomerase enzyme, reporting the positions of each component of the enzyme relative…
For the first time, researchers have successfully mapped telomerase, finding that differences in the telomeric gene are associated both with the risk of various cancers…
Inducing cells to express telomerase, the enzyme which is supposed to slow down the metabolic clock, has enabled researchers boost the lifespan of mouse by…
