Mutual reinforcement between telomere capping and canonical Wnt signalling in the intestinal stem cell niche
17 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Critical telomere shortening (for example, secondary to partial telomerase deficiency in the rare disease dyskeratosis congenita) causes tissue pathology, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Mice lacking telomerase (for example, mTR−/− telomerase RNA template mutants) provide a model for investigating pathogenesis. In such mice, after several generations of telomerase deficiency telomeres...
