Mammalian telomeric RNA (TERRA) can be translated to produce valine–arginine and glycine–leucine dipeptide repeat proteins

TM Al-Turki, JD Griffith - Proceedings of the National …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Mammalian telomeres consist of (TTAGGG) n repeats. Transcription of the C-rich strand
generates a G-rich RNA, termed TERRA, containing G-quadruplex structures. Recent …

Emerging roles of extracellular vesicles in cellular senescence and aging

M Takasugi - Aging cell, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Cellular senescence is a cellular program that prevents the proliferation of cells at risk of
neoplastic transformation. On the other hand, age‐related accumulation of senescent cells …

Revisiting telomere shortening in cancer

K Okamoto, H Seimiya - Cells, 2019 - mdpi.com
Telomeres, the protective structures of chromosome ends are gradually shortened by each
cell division, eventually leading to senescence or apoptosis. Cancer cells maintain the …

Role of exosomes in the protection of cellular homeostasis

G Desdín-Micó, M Mittelbrunn - Cell adhesion & migration, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
