Lack of telomerase rescues cancer and shorter lifespan of zebrafish tp53 mutants
2023-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activity is restricted in humans and telomere attrition occurs in several tissues accompanying natural aging. Critically short telomeres trigger DNA damage responses and activate p53 that result in apoptosis or replicative senescence. These processes reduce cell proliferation and disrupt tissue homeostasis, thus contributing to systemic aging. Zebrafish have restricted telomerase expression and telomere...
