A telomere (/ˈtɛləmɪər, ˈtiːlə-/; from Ancient Greek τέλος (télos) 'end', and μέρος (méros) 'part') is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences associated...

The relationship between telomeres and longevity and changing the length of telomeres is one of the new fields of research on increasing human lifespan...

ribonucleoprotein that adds a species-dependent telomere repeat sequence to the 3' end of telomeres. A telomere is a region of repetitive sequences at each...

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome. Telomere may also refer to: Telomere (insect morphology), a type...

Telomeres, the caps on the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play critical roles in cellular aging and cancer. An important facet to how telomeres function...

expression of an enzyme called telomerase. This enzyme extends telomeres, preventing the telomeres of cancer cells from shortening and giving them infinite...

of telomeres is now clearly evident: lengthen the telomeres, lengthen the life. However, a study of the comparative biology of mammalian telomeres indicated...

1984, Blackburn co-discovered telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes the telomere, with Carol W. Greider. For this work, she was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize...

Lengthening of Telomeres (also known as "ALT") is a telomerase-independent mechanism by which cancer cells avoid the degradation of telomeres. At each end...

A telomere (pl.; telomeres or telomeron), literally "end piece", is a term in insect morphology, and refers to a type of "genital clasper"; i.e.: in Mallophaga...
