The psychedelic psilocybin, found in magic mushrooms, slows certain hallmarks of aging in human cells and older mice, a lab study suggests.

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

TERRA R-loops interfere with semiconservative DNA replication, promoting telomere maintenance by a homology-directed repair (HDR) mechanism known as break-induced replication (BIR), which ensures ...

Researchers have developed a new tool to understand how cancer cells repair their telomeres, offering insights that could guide cancer therapy development.

Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres 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 ...
