Mechanisms of Telomere Protection Are Unique in Stem Cells – Technology Networks
According to a new study, the mechanisms of telomere protection are unique in stem cells.
Telomeres are specialized structures at the end of chromosomes which protect our DNA and ensure healthy division of cells. According to a new study from researchers at the Francis Crick Institute published in Nature, the mechanisms of telomere protection are surprisingly unique in stem cells.
For the last 20 years, researchers have been working to understand how telomeres protect chromosome ends from being incorrectly repaired and joined together because this has important implications for our understanding…
