A new study led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center has shown that an enzyme called PARP1 is involved in the repair of telomeres, the lengths of DNA ...
Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective ...
New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...
A large-scale genomic study by researchers at Central South University and King’s College London reveals that rare and common genetic risks interact antagnistically to maintain healthy telomere length ...
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 ...
Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov independently realized that there was a problem with how our DNA gets copied. A quirk of linear DNA replication dictated that telomeres ...
Aging is a multifaceted process driven by interconnected biological mechanisms, among which genomic instability and telomere attrition stand as primary hallmarks. Emerging research underscores the ...
