Sentences with phrase «regulating telomerase»

Augmenting and regulating telomerase function will have to be performed with precision, walking a narrow line between cell rejuvenation and a heightened risk for cancer development.

New experiments by UC Berkeley and UCSF researchers suggest that immortalization of skin cells, which is essential to turning them cancerous, is a two - step process: a mutation in nevus cells slightly raises levels of telomerase, which keep the cells alive long enough for a second change, still unknown, that up - regulates telomerase to make the cells immortal and malignant.

The reason, he said, is that if a TERT promoter mutation arises to push a precancerous lesion — the mole or nevus — toward a melanoma, the chances are greater in someone with short telomeres that the cell will die before it up - regulates telomerase and immortalizes the cells.

Variants in the gene called Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) on chromosome 5 that were associated with older IEAA were also associated with longer telomeres indicating a critical role for TERT in regulating the epigenetic clock, in addition to its established role of compensating for cell replication - dependent telomere shortening.

Using PET scanning, they saw that KKM resulted in 19 genes being up - regulated and 49 genes being down - regulated, resulting in the production of fewer inflammatory mediators, and increased telomerase activity by almost 50 %.

«Shortened telomere length and reduced telomerase predict a host of health risks and diseases, and new findings suggest they may be regulated in part by psychological stress, stress appraisals, and well - being.»
