  • Telomere Shortening, Aging, and Cancer
    Life Sciences - 17 Feb 2023
    Telomeres are sections of DNA that form protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, a bit like the plastic coating found at the tips of shoelaces. Without these protective tips, DNA gets damaged over...
  • Telomere Function
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    The telomeres are special structures on the chromosome ends that are essential for providing protection from enzymatic end-degradation and maintaining chromosomal and genomic stability. This is the...
  • What are Telomeres?
    Life Sciences - 22 May 2019
    Telomeres are crucial parts of the chromosome that act to protect them and ensure DNA replication is performed effectively.
  • Systemic Telomere Length and Aging
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    Telomere length is the result of the equilibrium between shortening and lengthening mechanisms, and in many different organisms there is a decrease in length with increasing age. This suggests that...
  • Telomere Measurement
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    Southern blotting and terminal restriction fragment analysis have traditionally been regarded as the gold standard for measuring telomere length. Nevertheless, due to its labor-intensive and...
  • Telomeres and Cancer
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    A ribonucleoprotein enzyme complex known as telomerase maintains telomere length in cancer cells by adding TTAGGG repeats onto the telomeric ends, compensating for the normal shortening of telomeres...
  • Telomere Lengthening
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    To circumvent active DNA damage pathways that are prompted by critically short telomeres, cells must contend with the loss of telomere repeats due to various causes either by copying repeats using...
  • Telomere Shortening
    Life Sciences - 20 Jul 2023
    Several different mechanisms related to DNA replication, repair and remodeling are responsible for the loss of telomeric DNA. Some of the aforementioned processes take place at every chromosome end...
  • Types of Non-Coding DNA Sequences
    Life Sciences - 30 Mar 2020
    There are several types of non-coding DNA or junk DNA. Some of these are described below.
  • What are HeLa Cells?
    Life Sciences - 23 Feb 2023
    Today, cell lines derived from animals including humans are grown and used for research in laboratories around the world.
