After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...

New preclinical study finds boosting NAD+ with nicotinamide riboside alleviated telomere damage, providing protective effect to DNA strands “Telomere attrition is recognized as one of the nine ...

Lausanne, Switzerland, October 4, 2007 – A group working at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) in collaboration with the University of Pavia has discovered that telomeres, ...

The length of telomeres that protect the ends of our chromosomes should be tightly regulated. Those that are too long predispose to cancer, and those that are too short lose their protective ability, ...

Longer leukocyte telomere length is associated with higher left ventricular mass (LVM) and larger global ventricular size, as well as better cardiac function and lower risk of heart failure (HF). The ...

New findings describe how the enzyme CST is recruited to the end of the telomere, where it maintains telomere length with the help of subtle chemical changes made to the protein POT1. The length of ...

Lausanne, Switzerland, October 4, 2007 – The group from Prof. Joachim Lingner working at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC), in collaboration with the University of Pavia ...

New research suggests your daily coffee habit might be a surprising ally in cellular health. Scientists are exploring how ...

Telomeres, the protein—DNA complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes, are protected and regulated by the shelterin molecules, the telomerase complex, and other accessory factors, among which is ...

This moderate habit was tied to longer telomeres, a marker of biological aging. Drinking more than four cups did not show the ...
