The Role of Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) in Cancer and Aging
Mechanism: The infographic illustrates how telomeres shorten in normal aging cells, while ALT-activated cells maintain telomere length through a recombination-based mechanism. Readout: Readout: Normal aging cells show telomere shortening and an accelerated aging score, contrasted with ALT-activated cells showing maintained telomere length but an elevated cancer risk.
Exploring mechanisms and implications for aging biology. What evidence supports this, and how could we test it?
