A new research paper featured as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 12 of Aging-US was published on December 22, 2025, titled "A ...

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

RNA-based hTERT therapy may enhance telomere activity, improving lung cell health in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Telomere dysfunction is a significant risk factor for PF, with telomerase reactivation ...

Dysregulated R-loops can cause stalled replication forks and telomere instability. However, how R-loops are recognized and regulated, is still not well understood, particularly at telomeres. In this ...

Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise. For the first time, scientists have created a molecule that can identify ...

Using new technology, researchers from Texas found that they could reverse many markers of aging in cells from children with progeria, a rare genetic disease that causes rapid aging and early death.
