Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an enzyme called telomerase to help mitigate this loss, but 10% to 15% of ...

However, when the researchers molecularly tethered TRIM24 to telomeres in cancer cells lacking PML, they found that, surprisingly, these telomere repair shells still formed. “This experiment tells us ...

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

MAIA Biotechnology Announces Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication of Data Validating Second Generation Ateganosine Prodrugs for ...

Some cells that do not produce telomerase are still able to maintain telomere length. Roger Reddel, [5] of the Children's Medical Research Institute in Sydney, Australia, is investigating this ...

Scientists have developed a hydrogel “rest stop” that shields cancer-fighting T cells, delaying their exhaustion and boosting ...

Scientists have discovered a promising new way to slow down aging at the cellular level using a special type of whey protein (Dietary MAF). A team of researchers led by Dr. Toshio Inui studied the ...

When telomeres get too short, the cell cannot divide anymore and stops working properly. Some scientists believe telomere dysfunction is linked to aging and other diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s ...

However, when the researchers molecularly tethered TRIM24 to telomeres in cancer cells lacking PML, they found that, surprisingly, these telomere repair shells still formed.
