Chemical genetic screen for inhibitors of human telomerase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
There remains a pressing need for the development of effective drugs that meet the clinical needs for cancer treatment, and inhibition of telomere length maintenance by disrupting human telomerase is a proven and tractable target for suppression of ...

Telomeres in Evolution and Development from Biosemiotic Perspective

open access: yes, 2007
Telomeres identify natural chromosome ends being different from broken DNA through differences in their "molecular syntax" (M.Eigen) which determines the functions of reverse transcriptase and its integrated RNA template, telomerase.

Fine-mapping identifies multiple prostate cancer risk loci at 5p15, one of which associates with TERT expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 5p15 and multiple cancer types have been reported. We have previously shown evidence for a strong association between prostate cancer (PrCa) risk and rs2242652 at 5p15, intronic in the ...

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Minimized human telomerase maintains telomeres and resolves endogenous roles of H/ACA proteins, TCAB1, and Cajal bodies

open access: yeseLife, 2016
We dissected the importance of human telomerase biogenesis and trafficking pathways for telomere maintenance. Biological stability of human telomerase RNA (hTR) relies on H/ACA proteins, but other eukaryotes use other RNP assembly pathways.

Molecular Docking and Dynamics Simulation Study of Telomerase Inhibitors as Potential Anti-Cancer Agents

open access: yes, 2020
Normal cells’ genomic identity is protected by telomeres and sometimes chromosomal instability was observed due to shortening of telomerase because of successive cell divisions. Reports indicate that telomerase length is crucial in determining telomerase

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.

Development of a microarray based telomerase binding assay reveals unusual binding of a cytochalasin derivative

open access: yesScientific Reports
Telomerase reverse transcriptase is crucial for cellular development, regeneration, and disease processes. Strategies for both telomerase activation and inhibition have been intensively explored in the past decades.

Human telomerase contains two cooperating telomerase RNA molecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Telomerase uses a short stretch of its intrinsic RNA molecule as template for telomere repeat synthesis. Reverse transcription of the RNA template is catalyzed by the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) protein subunit.

The true cost of red cell transfusion for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes: A time‐driven activity‐based costing study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) often require red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. However, the true cost of RBC transfusion, beyond the acquisition cost of the unit, is poorly defined. We conducted a prospective time‐driven activity‐based costing study at a large Australian university teaching hospital.
