Abstract excerpt
Telomere maintenance mechanism is poorly studied in quiescence, a reversible non-proliferative state. We previously described in fission yeast a new mode of repair of telomeres named STEEx, that specifically operates in post-mitotic cells harboring eroded telomeres. This mechanism, promoted by transcription-induced telomeric recombination, prevents cells to exit properly from quiescence, suggesting that STEEx act...
