Researchers introduce the 'Telomouse'. By making a subtle genetic alteration in standard lab mice, they've made the mouse telomeres, which protect the chromosome ends, more closely resemble those in ...

I became more interested in genetics and DNA when I learned about my own genetic mutation, MTHFR, and how it can play a role in folate deficiency and my own health issues. Writing a medical book for ...

FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, February 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Age-related cataract is often viewed as an ...

New findings describe how the enzyme CST is recruited to the end of the telomere, where it maintains telomere length with the help of subtle chemical changes made to the protein POT1. The length of ...

One protein appears to play an integral role in protecting telomeres, and possibly preventing cancerous growth, according to a study published this week in Science. Chromosomes with fluorescently ...

We depend on our cells being able to divide and multiply, whether it's to replace sunburnt skin or replenish our blood supply and recover from injury. Chromosomes, which carry all of our genetic ...

Our genome is organized into chromosomes, which are shaped like little X's. Every time a cell divides, the genome has to be replicated, and there are protective caps called telomeres on the ends of ...
