The Role of Telomeres and Telomerase in Human Aging and Aging Associated Diseases

open access: yesمجلة جامعة الزيتونة, 2022
An expanding confirmation for the existence of an imperative association between telomeres and cellular aging. With each cell division ordinary human cells dynamically lose telomeres until many telomeres become uncapped driving the cells to risk ...

Pre‐Encoded IFN‐I Sensitivity Exacerbates Memory T Cell Senescence in Solid Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Type I interferon (IFN‐I) signaling promotes p21‐dependent cell cycle arrest in senescent tumor‐specific memory T cells, resulting in poor proliferative responses and solid tumor regression during cancer vaccination. Conversely, IFNα/β receptor blockade reinvigorates T cell proliferation to regress solid tumors and is more effective with increasing ...

An H2A Histone Isotype, H2ac, Associates with Telomere and Maintains Telomere Integrity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Telomeres are capped at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and are composed of TTAGGG repeats bound to the shelterin complex. Here we report that a replication-dependent histone H2A isotype, H2ac, was associated with telomeres in human cells and co ...

Telomere Length and Physical Performance at Older Ages: An Individual Participant Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background Telomeres are involved in cellular ageing and shorten with increasing age. If telomere length is a valuable biomarker of ageing, then telomere shortening should be associated with worse physical performance, an ageing trait, but evidence ...

Long Telomeres Do Not Affect Cellular Fitness in Yeast

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Telomeres, the ends of the eukaryotic chromosomes, help to maintain the genome’s integrity and thus play important roles in aging and cancer. Telomere length is strictly controlled in all organisms.

Self‐Assembling Hybrid Hydrogel Reprograms the Stromal Vascular Fraction to Treat Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioinspired injectable hydrogel that enhances the therapeutic potential of stem cell‐rich stromal vascular fraction for treating osteoarthritis. By reprogramming cell behavior through epigenetic modulation, the hydrogel promotes cartilage regeneration and reduces joint damage in a rat model, offering a promising new approach for ...

Measuring telomere length and telomere dynamics in evolutionary biology and ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Telomeres play a fundamental role in the protection of chromosomal DNA and in the regulation of cellular senescence. Recent work in human epidemiology and evolutionary ecology suggests adult telomere length (TL) may reflect past physiological stress and ...

Telomeres in interstitial lung diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) encompass a group of conditions involving fibrosis and/or inflammation of the pulmonary parenchyma. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at chromosome ends which protect against genome instability. At each cell division,

Telomerase Repairs Collapsed Replication Forks at Telomeres

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Telomeres are difficult-to-replicate sites whereby replication itself may threaten telomere integrity. We investigate, in fission yeast, telomere replication dynamics in telomerase-negative cells to unmask problems associated with telomere ...

The Mph1 helicase can promote telomere uncapping and premature senescence in budding yeast. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Double strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired via either Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) or Homology directed Repair (HR). Telomeres, which resemble DSBs, are refractory to repair events in order to prevent chromosome end fusions and genomic instability.
