A double‐headed bis‐guanine (G) nucleotide (GG) was evaluated as a noncanonical building block in G‐quadruplexes (G4s). Biophysical and computational analyses reveal that GG can directly participate in G‐tetrads and strongly stabilize G4s in a position‐ and topology‐dependent manner. These findings establish design rules for using GG to engineer highly

Extreme telomere length dimorphism in the Tasmanian devil and related marsupials suggests parental control of telomere length. [PDF]
Telomeres, specialised structures that protect chromosome ends, play a critical role in preserving chromosome integrity. Telomere dynamics in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) are of particular interest in light of the emergence of devil facial ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Cell cycle-dependent modification of Pot1 and its effects on telomere function [PDF]
Telomere functions are tightly controlled throughout the cell cycle to allow telomerase access while suppressing a bona fide DNA damage response (DDR) at linear chromosome ends.

Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Illuminating point‐of‐care diagnostics with aggregation‐induced emission biosensors
This review highlights the application of aggregation‐induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) in point‐of‐care (POC) diagnostics for disease biomarker detection. It systematically examines a range of biosensing platforms, including lateral flow immunoassays, microfluidic chips, and electrochemiluminescence sensors, alongside their utility in detecting ...

Correlation between telomere shortening in maternal peripheral blood and fetal aneuploidy
Background This study aimed to assess whether maternal telomere length is a more accurate predictor of trisomy 21 than maternal age while also exploring the factors influencing maternal and fetal telomere length.

Telomere Length Correlates with Life Span of Dog Breeds
Telomeric DNA repeats are lost as normal somatic cells replicate. When telomeres reach a critically short length, a DNA damage signal is initiated, inducing cell senescence.
