Telomeres: Telling Tails
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 8 years ago | 1845 views
Rating:

Telomeres protect chromosome ends and help stabilize the genome. Throughout human life and in aging, telomeres often erode down, eventually causing cells to malfunction or die. The highly regulated cellular enzyme telomerase adds telomeric DNA to tel....
