Brief description The telomere is required for protecting chromosome ends. During cell division and development, telomeres lose their repeats, exposing the chromosome ends to damage. The consequences of this damage are disease, cancer, and aging. By contrast, embryonic stem cells (ES) continually renew their telomeres and do not stop growing. ES cells thereby provide a means to unravel the molecular mechanisms of indefinite telomere renewal. Here we propose a novel mechanism that operates to control continual telomere renewal in ES cells.
