Methods that shaped telomerase research

Abstract

Telomerase, the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) responsible for telomere maintenance, has a complex life. Complex in that it is made of multiple proteins and an RNA, and complex because it undergoes many changes, and passes through different cell compartments. As such, many methods have been developed to discover telomerase components, delve deep into understanding its structure and function and to figure out how telomerase biology ultimately relates to human health and disease. While some old gold-standard methods are still key for determining telomere length and measuring telomerase activity, new technologies are providing promising new ways to gain detailed information that we have never had access to before. Therefore, we thought it timely to briefly review the methods that have revealed information about the telomerase RNP and outline some of the remaining questions that could be answered using new methodology.

Cell cycles with telomerase synthesis for increases productivity farm animals

“…Beside has been discovered importance of system reparation in live of cells with synthesis of telomerase and artificial extension live of ordinary cells. Questions of the functioning of cell cycles with telomerase synthesis are discussed in the works [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
