...es. These people are more likely to have decreased telomerase activity. Telomeres are enzymes that regulate how many times an individual cell can divide. Telomeric sequences shorten each time the DNA replicates, which is a process that happens prior to cells dividing. When at least some of the telomeres reach...

Salk Scientists - Links Between Cancer and Aging

...cells supplied with added telomerase. 'When we put telomerase into cells, we suppressed accumulation of mutations to the same degree as when we put the WRN protein back,' reports Karlseder. 'It fixed the defect by elongating short telomeres seen in Werner Syndrome cells.' Crabbe, who is continuing to study D...
