Loss of telomere protection: consequences and opportunities.
Telomeres are repetitive sequences at the natural ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes that protect these from recognition as chromosome breaks. Their ability to do so critically depends on the binding of sufficient quantities of functional shelterin, a

Updates on Mediterranean diet and health status: active ingredients and pharmacological mechanisms
The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) is among the most extensively studied dietary patterns and has been consistently associated with reduced risk of all‐cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline and several types of cancers.

ABSTRACT Introduction Jacobsen syndrome, resulting from a terminal deletion of chromosome 11 (11q), may lead to an increased bleeding tendency due to low platelet counts or platelet dysfunction. Currently, information on bleeding tendency and platelet function in patients with nonterminal 11q‐aberrations such as larger deletions, interstitial 11q ...

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

G-quadruplex recognition by the yeast telomere binding protein Rap1 [PDF]
Although biochemical and structural studies have shown that DNA can adopt various conformations other than the canonical right – handed double helix, such structures were thought to be in vitro artifacts. It has been known for decades, that single stranded guanine – rich DNA can fold into a structure called G – quadruplexes. Those structures arise from

Clinical Significance of Telomere Length and Associated Proteins in Oral Cancer
Purpose: Telomere shortening is an important event during carcinogenesis. Although studies suggest role of multiple proteins in telomere length regulation, there is dearth of reports in oral cancer which is a leading malignancy in Asian countries ...

Exploring TRF2-Dependent DNA Distortion Through Single-DNA Manipulation Studies
TRF2 is a component of shelterin, a telomere-specific protein complex that protects the ends of mammalian chromosomes from DNA damage signaling and improper repair.
