    Telomere dysfunction cooperates with epigenetic alterations to impair murine embryonic stem cell fate commitment

    Mélanie Criqui, Aditi Qamra ... Lea Harrington
    Cell lineage tracing and biochemical analysis of cell fate during murine stem cell differentiation demonstrates a specific cooperativity between perturbations in histone methylation and eroded telomeres that destabilize cell differentiation.

    Adaptive evolution of an essential telomere protein restricts telomeric retrotransposons

    Bastien Saint-Leandre, Courtney Christopher, Mia T Levine
    Evolution strictly preserves telomere stability but rapidly diversifies telomere length regulation in Drosophila.

    Telomere repeats induce domains of H3K27 methylation in Neurospora

    Kirsty Jamieson, Kevin J McNaught ... Eric U Selker
    Vast regions of facultative heterochromatin marked by methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 depend on their proximity to chromosome ends and can be induced ectopically by insertion of telomere repeats.

    Telomerase biogenesis requires a novel Mex67 function and a cytoplasmic association with the Sm7 complex

    Yulia Vasianovich, Emmanuel Bajon, Raymund J Wellinger
    A new tool that allows specific subpopulations of telomerase RNAs in vivo forces a thorough revision of the telomerase maturation pathway and suggests a new function for Mex67.

    Effects of water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutritional interventions on telomere length among children in a cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh

    Audrie Lin, Benjamin F Arnold ... Stephen P Luby
    In a randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh, an intensive, combined water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutrition intervention delivered to compounds of newborn children increased telomere length attrition during their first year of life.

    Telomere length sensitive regulation of interleukin receptor 1 type 1 (IL1R1) by the shelterin protein TRF2 modulates immune signalling in the tumour microenvironment

    Ananda Kishore Mukherjee, Subhajit Dutta ... Shantanu Chowdhury
    Telomere-sensitive regulation of IL1R1 by the shelterin protein TERF2 modulates tumour macrophage inflitration in triple-negative breast cancer.

    A sharp Pif1-dependent threshold separates DNA double-strand breaks from critically short telomeres

    Jonathan Strecker, Sonia Stinus ... Daniel Durocher
    A sharp transition in the fate of DNA ends with telomere sequences is identified, which suggests a boundary between DNA double-strand breaks and telomeres.

    The role of Rif1 in telomere length regulation is separable from its role in origin firing

    Calla B Shubin, Carol W Greider
    Telomere length is linked to DNA replication, and we found excessive telomeric origin firing caused by several distinct mutants did not lengthen telomeres, narrowing possible mechanisms.

    Cancer-associated TERT promoter mutations abrogate telomerase silencing

    Kunitoshi Chiba, Joshua Z Johnson ... Dirk Hockemeyer
    TERT promoter mutations impair TERT silencing upon cellular differentiation and are sufficient to facilitate cellular immortalization without additional tumor selected changes, explaining why they are associated with a very specific tumor spectrum.

    TINF2 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor that limits telomere length

    Isabelle Schmutz, Arjen R Mensenkamp ... Titia de Lange
    Mutations in TIN2, a component of shelterin that keeps telomere length in check, lead to cancer-predisposition by disabling the telomere tumor suppressor pathway.
