Five-year NIH-funded study will examine how early-life factors such as growth patterns and exposure to air pollution affect ...

New clinical research reveals that a simple daily supplement can preserve your DNA’s protective caps and significantly slow ...

Vitamin D is a real powerhouse. New research suggests this vitamin supports healthy aging, along with your immune system and ...

Scientists have created the most comprehensive map to date of telomere biology across hundreds of cancer cell lines, opening new possibilities for therapies that target one of cancer’s defining ...

Telomeres, the protective end caps on DNA, naturally shorten over time and is often used as a sign of biological ageing and longevity. Scientists have found a link between 3 to 4 cups of coffee and ...

Vitamin D supplements might slow cellular aging by preventing the loss of telomeres, DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten in old age, a new study suggests. The health effects of these ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations — referred to as non-B DNA — have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy. Using yeast, the researchers ...

Scientists have long tried to unlock the secrets to helping people live longer at the cellular level, where aging occurs because of the gradual shortening of protective caps called telomeres at the ...

ABSTRACT: Telomeres have been a subject of genetic research since the 1930s. They play a crucial role in cancer biology, as they influence both cellular senescence and genomic stability. In cancer ...
