MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Geron Corporation (Nasdaq:GERN) today announced the publication of preclinical data on TAT2, a small molecule telomerase activator. The studies show that human CD8 ...

Pulmonary fibrosis—also known in technical terms as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—is a rare but life-threatening ...

Researchers have the molecular structure of telomerase. This should speed up the discovery of the best activators and inhibitors of telomerase. Good activators of telomerase has been shown to boost ...

An RNA-based therapeutic approach led to transient activation of telomerase activity in a model of pulmonary fibrosis. A new report suggests that RNA-based human telomerase reverse transcriptase ...

Telomeres, posted at the edges of chromosomes, protect DNA from damage. The telomerase enzyme helps maintain the length and integrity of telomeres and acts as an aging regulator. Researchers have now ...

More than 30 years ago, when University of California, Berkeley researchers discovered telomerase - an enzyme that lengthens chromosome ends and prevents them from fraying enough to kill a cell - ...

Research has recently uncovered a crucial step in the telomerase enzyme catalytic cycle. This catalytic cycle determines the ability of the human telomerase enzyme to synthesize DNA. Research from the ...

Richard Faragher does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

UCSF researchers have found that the spread of melanoma can be inhibited by suppressing telomerase, the enzyme active in cancer cell growth. Findings reported in the July 5 Proceedings of the National ...

HOUSTON - Inhibiting telomerase, an enzyme that rescues malignant cells from destruction by extending the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes, kills tumor cells but also triggers resistance ...
