Haematologica, 2015 Aplastic anemia is a rare but life-threatening disorder characterized by cytopenia in at least two of the three blood lineages. A frequent feature of patients with aplastic anemia is that they have shorter telomeres than those of age-matched controls ...

Emerging roles of telomeric chromatin alterations in cancer [PDF]
, 2019 Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures that cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play important and multiple roles in tumorigenesis. Functional telomeres need the establishment of a protective chromatin structure based on the interplay between the ...

Telomeric recombination induced by dysfunctional telomeres
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2011 Telomere maintenance is essential for cellular immortality, and most cancer cells maintain their telomeres through the enzyme telomerase. Telomeres and telomerase represent promising anticancer targets. However, 15% of cancer cells maintain their telomeres through alternative recombination-based mechanisms, and previous analyses showed that ...

Multiple cancer pathways regulate telomere protection
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019 Telomeres are considered as universal anti‐cancer targets, as telomere maintenance is essential to sustain indefinite cancer growth. Mutations in telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomeres, are among the most frequently found in cancer. In addition,

TRF1 and TRF2 binding to telomeres is modulated by nucleosomal organization [PDF]
, 2015 The ends of eukaryotic chromosomes need to be protected from the activation of a DNA damage response that leads the cell to replicative senescence or apoptosis.

The Rate of Increase of Short Telomeres Predicts Longevity in Mammals
Cell Reports, 2012 Aberrantly short telomeres result in decreased longevity in both humans and mice with defective telomere maintenance. Normal populations of humans and mice present high interindividual variation in telomere length, but it is unknown whether this is ...

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2012 A major goal in aging research is to improve health during aging. In the case of mice, genetic manipulations that shorten or lengthen telomeres result, respectively, in decreased or increased longevity.
