New 3-D model of RNA 'core domain' of enzyme telomerase may offer clues to cancer, aging
(PhysOrg.com) -- Telomerase is an enzyme that maintains the DNA at the ends of our chromosomes, known as telomeres. In the absence of telomerase activity, every time our cells divide, our telomeres get shorter. This is part of the natural aging process, as most cells in the human body do not have much active telomerase. Eventually, these DNA-containing telomeres, which act as protective caps at ...
