Cancer researchers at Children's Medical Research Institute have discovered an "unexpected mechanism" that our cells use to ...

New research shows the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person's future health and ageing.

Telomere shortening is associated with age and risk of medical comorbidity. We assessed the relationship between measures of adiposity, leukocyte telomere length, and mortality and whether it is ...

DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of ...

Furthermore, telomere shortening due to the inability of the DNA-replication machinery to fully replicate the ends is a critical mechanism of tumor suppression as well as a hallmark of aging.

This part of our chromosomes can influence the ageing process, and possibly the development of chronic diseases.

Early results from the company’s single-arm trial saw the therapy able to partially repair the chemical responsible for ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say the innovation could bring 'new fruits, foods, and flavors' to an expanded global agricultural ...

5 This checkpoint is important to prevent cells from replicating damaged DNA. Due to this phenomenon, scientists describe telomere length as a biological clock that indicates the lifespan of a cell ...

Of 18 people with variants in three telomere-related genes, 15 (83%) developed a second cancer. Most frequently, these ...
