New Research Provides Clues on Aging and Cancer
CCB scientist, Carolyn Price, PhD, collaborated with researchers from Texas A&M University to examine the telomeres of Arabidopsis, a plant found throughout the world, and discovered a new set of telomere proteins essential for maintaining this protective "cap" at the end of chromosomes. The team then identified the human counterpart, a discovery that could be beneficial in understanding human cancers and cellular aging. (more)
