  2. Relationship between telomeres and longevity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between...

    The continuous shortening of telomeres with each replication in somatic (body) cells may play a role in aging [19] and in cancer prevention. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] This is because telomeres act as a kind of "delayed fuse" and eventually run out after a certain number of cell divisions.

  4. Telomeres in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomeres_in_the_cell_cycle

    Almost all cancer cells have shortened telomeres. [20] This may seem counter-intuitive, as short telomeres should activate the ATR/ATM DNA damage checkpoint and thereby prevent division. Resolving the question of why cancer cells have short telomeres led to the development of a two-stage model for how cancer cells subvert telomeric regulation ...

  5. Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_lengthening_of...

    Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (also known as "ALT") is a telomerase-independent mechanism by which cancer cells avoid the degradation of telomeres.. At each end of the chromosomes of most eukaryotic cells, there is a telomere: a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.

  7. Biological immortality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_immortality

    The term "immortalization" was first applied to cancer cells that expressed the telomere-lengthening enzyme telomerase, and thereby avoided apoptosis—i.e. cell death caused by intracellular mechanisms. Among the most commonly used cell lines are HeLa and Jurkat, both of which are immortalized cancer cell lines. [4]

  9. Shelterin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelterin

    Shelterin (also called telosome) is a protein complex known to protect telomeres in many eukaryotes from DNA repair mechanisms, as well as to regulate telomerase activity. In mammals and other vertebrates, telomeric DNA consists of repeating double-stranded 5'-TTAGGG-3' (G-strand) sequences (2-15 kilobases in humans) along with the 3'-AATCCC-5' (C-strand) complement, ending with a 50-400 ...
