Cervical cancer is one of the most common causes of mortality among women worldwide with an annual incidence rate of approximately 400 000 cases and 200 000 deaths per year (Parkin et al, 2001). The ...

Telomeres and their maintenance by telomerase have been implicated to play an important role in carcinogenesis. As almost all malignant tumors express telomerase (in contrast to normal somatic cells), ...

Positive psychological changes that occur during meditation training are associated with greater telomerase activity, according to researchers. The study is the first to link positive well-being to ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

Telomeres – which are the DNA repeats that form the tips of chromosomes and are produced by the telomerase enzyme – play a crucial, and curious, role in the life of the cell. While chromosomes are ...

Positive psychological changes that occur during meditation training are associated with greater telomerase activity, according to researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the ...

Maintenance of telomere stability is required for cells to escape from replicative senescence and proliferate indefinitely. Telomere length is maintained by a balance between processes that lengthen ...

Response to nilotinib in chronic myelogenous leukemia patients in chronic phase (CML-CP) according to BCR-ABL mutations at baseline #7060 This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2008 ASCO Annual ...

Science has identified in the plant kingdom the “missing link” of cellular immortality between human and single-celled animals, according to a new study led by scientists from Arizona State University ...

Premature aging can be reversed by reactivating an enzyme that protects the tips of chromosomes, a study in mice suggests. Mice engineered to lack the enzyme, called telomerase, become prematurely ...
