telomere

"All the things that we need for the telomere work are up on the next level.

"The telomere is quite a bit shorter than it should be.

Instead, they have a repeating pattern of molecules called a telomere.

The Harvard group focused on a process called telomere shortening.

Another challenging factor is the telomere limitation of each individual species.

An additional role in maintaining telomere length is an active area of investigation.

Over time, due to each cell division, the telomere ends become shorter.

Ty5 is used as a model system by which to understand the biology of the telomere and heterochromatin.

The human gene is found on the short arm of Chromosome 1 near the telomere (1p36.13).

A 20 percent difference in telomere length could just be within the ordinary variation for sheep, he said.

At that point, the enzyme goes to work, copying the telomere and making it grow long again.

When there isn't enough telomere left, the cell can't divide anymore, and it dies.

At the ends of each chromosome is a protective cap called a telomere.

Art recalled, with no pleasure at all, that the telomere research center was on the fifteenth floor.

According to a 2007 study, there is no correlation between socio-economic status and telomere length.

This technique is used routinely in telomere length research.

As a consequence, when the cell divides, its telomere shortens.

For most of the cells in our body, with each replication these telomere sequence gets shorter.

The rate of telomere sequence loss in human leukocytes varies with age.

Thus, it seems that there is much more variation in the behavior of telomere length than initially believed.

Future research will be geared towards telomere repair strategies.

And there's some evidence that they prevent telomere depletion in cell division."

According to a controversial study, the aging process can be reduced by increasing telomere lengths without cancer risk.

Breakthroughs in cell biology and telomere research are leading to treatments for cancer.

However, this does not explain how hydras are consequently able to maintain telomere lengths.
