Reconstructed particle-on-a-string 3D genomes of Brassica rapa. (a) 3D organization with expanded views of the separate chromosome territories. (b) Spatial distribution of telomeres and centromeres of ...
Imagine your DNA as a set of shoelaces. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the ends of those shoelaces, preventing them from fraying and unraveling. Structurally, telomeres are repetitive ...
Our genome is organized into chromosomes, which are shaped like little X's. Every time a cell divides, the genome has to be replicated, and there are protective caps called telomeres on the ends of ...
In the quest to unlock the secrets of aging and longevity, telomeres have emerged as key players. These protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes play a critical role in cellular aging. With each ...
Cellular findings show Telomir-Zn modulates intracellular metal balance linked to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction ...
AMES, Iowa – In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function – the blueprint of life. How the ...
Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...
Telomere shortening is a potential diagnostic tool for differentiating ILD types, particularly in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Genetic mutations in telomerase genes, such as TERC and TERT, ...
A population-based study in Northern Sweden challenges assumptions about pollution and cellular aging, uncovering an unexpected signal of longer telomeres in patients with dementia that warrants ...
