Life Extension - Enzyme Shown to Help Protect Genomic Stability; Findings May Provide Insights Into Aging, Cancer:
"Genomic instability, particularly in the regions at the ends of the chromosomes known as telomeres, has been linked to aging in humans and an elevated risk for aging-related diseases, the most prominent of which is cancer. For this reason, insights into the mechanisms of gene silencing could provide important guideposts for new approaches to retarding aging or treating cancer."
