An overview on the role of telomere , telomerase in degenerative diseases and cancer
Telomerase maintains the length of telomeric DNA at the end of chromosomes; stabilizes the functions of chromosomes, protects the structure of chromosome DNA and regulates normal cell growth. The length and stability of telomeres determine the cellular lifespan, furthermore, they correlate with cell...
