TRF2 Protects Human Telomeres from End-to-End Fusions

Cell cycle-dependent 3D distribution of telomeres and telomere repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) in HaCaT and HaCaT-myc cells.

It is proposed that TAs, which subsequently also cluster their respective chromosomes, contribute to genomic instability by forcing an abnormal chromosome segregation during mitosis.

Mechanisms of cellular senescence in human and mouse cells

This Review article categorizes cellular senescence into two types, focuses on the differences between human and mouse cells, and discusses the roles of the p53 and pRb tumor suppressor pathways in cellularsenescence.
