Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme responsible for maintaining the telomeric end of the chromosome. The telomerase enzyme requires two main components to function: the telomerase reverse ...

A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At the heart of this protective process is an enzyme called telomerase. Now an ...

Scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have made a major discovery about cancer cells. This new understanding could help make chemotherapy work better, reduce side effects, and ...

Pulmonary fibrosis—also known in technical terms as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—is a rare but life-threatening disease. It causes scarring of the connective tissue between the functional ...

A study by Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) researchers reveals a new group of proteins that guide the powerful enzyme telomerase, opening potential doors to novel treatments for cancer, ...
