Analysis of telomere maintenance in artemis defective human cell lines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Telomeres are physical ends of chromosomes consisting of (TTAGGG)n DNA sequence and a specialized set of proteins that protect chromosomal ends from ...

TERC polymorphisms are associated both with susceptibility to colorectal cancer and with longer telomeres. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Shorter telomeres have been associated with increased risk of malignancy, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Telomere length is heritable and may be an intermediate phenotype linked to genetic susceptibility to ...

The human telomeric proteome during telomere replication [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2020
Abstract Telomere shortening can cause detrimental diseases and contribute to aging. It occurs due to the end replication problem in cells lacking telomerase. Furthermore, recent studies revealed that telomere shortening can be attributed to difficulties of the semi-conservative DNA replication machinery to replicate the bulk of ...

Telomere lengths in human oocytes, cleavage stage embryos and blastocysts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Telomeres are repeated sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes and harbour DNA-repair proteins. Telomeres shorten during each cell division in the absence of telomerase.

TRF2 controls telomeric nucleosome organization in a cell cycle phase-dependent manner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mammalian telomeres stabilize chromosome ends as a result of their assembly into a peculiar form of chromatin comprising a complex of non-histone proteins named shelterin.

Suv4-20h abrogation enhances telomere elongation during reprogramming and confers a higher tumorigenic potential to iPS cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Reprogramming of adult differentiated cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) cells has been achieved by over-expression of specific transcription factors.

Mice with hyper-long telomeres show less metabolic aging and longer lifespans

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Telomere shortening is associated with aging. Here the authors analyze mice with hyperlong telomeres and demonstrate that longer telomeres than normal have beneficial effects such as delayed metabolic aging, increased longevity and less incidence of ...

Telomeres and telomerase as therapeutic targets to prevent and treat age-related diseases [version 1; referees: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Telomeres, the protective ends of linear chromosomes, shorten throughout an individual’s lifetime. Telomere shortening is a hallmark of molecular aging and is associated with premature appearance of diseases associated with aging.
