Brief description The telomere is required for the protection of the chromosome ends. Telomere loses its repeat during each cell division, so telomere shorthening is one of the mechanisms underlying organismal aging as critically short telomeres induce chromosome instability and cell death. Defective telomeres can also result in genetic diseases and development of cancers. Here, we propose to study the mechanism that operates to ensure continual telomere renewal without senescence in embryonic stem cells.
