New preclinical study finds boosting NAD+ with nicotinamide riboside alleviated telomere damage, providing protective effect to DNA strands “Telomere attrition is recognized as one of the nine ...

Lausanne, Switzerland, October 4, 2007 – A group working at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) in collaboration with the University of Pavia has discovered that telomeres, ...

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 ...

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today highlighted a new study published in The European Molecular Biology Organization Journal looking at the effect of nicotinamide ...

A large-scale genomic study by researchers at Central South University and King’s College London reveals that rare and common genetic risks interact antagnistically to maintain healthy telomere length ...

It’s long been thought that our cells stop dividing as we age as a natural preventative measure against cancer. Now a new study has found an intriguing piece of evidence supporting this hypothesis in ...

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures present at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes that play a central role in guarding the integrity of the genome by protecting chromosome ends from degradation and ...

The length of telomeres that protect the ends of our chromosomes should be tightly regulated. Those that are too long predispose to cancer, and those that are too short lose their protective ability, ...

Evidence for an association of leukocyte telomere length (LTL) with cognitive function, predominantly in older adults, is inconsistent. No report has examined the association of LTL dynamics ...

Researchers have found the first evidence that telomere shortening is not just a sign of aging, but a key component of the body's cancer prevention system. As time goes by, the tips of your ...
