Another great read from the lab (this time with @joenassour.bsky.social) on how telomere crisis stands at the crossroads of cancer suppression and evolution 🧬

Our lab’s latest “hot take” is out in Genes & Development!
We argue for looking beyond senescence to understand how telomeres connect aging, tumor suppression, and inflammation.
Great job @sambloom28.bsky.social!

1/Out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social,

“A CPC-shelterin-BTR axis regulates mitotic telomere deprotection”.

Here we identify the mechanism that unwinds telomere-loops (t-loops) during mitotic arrest to activate the DNA damage response and signal mitotic stress.

Homologous recombination promotes non-immunogenic mitotic cell death upon DNA damage - Nature Cell Biology
Szmyd et al. show that DNA repair pathways impact whether cells with DNA lesions arrest in mitosis. The formation of homologous recombination-driven double Holliday junctions elicits mitotic cell deat...

With our lab’s inaugural Blue Sky post we celebrate our latest publication, a review in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology (@natrevmcb.bsky.social) 🥳
Here, we review our current understanding of telomere biology, discussing differences between human and mouse.

Telomere function and regulation from mouse models to human ageing and disease - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Telomere dysfunction, usually owing to shortening, activates cellular senescence and can contribute to age-associated diseases and cancer. Mouse models are crucial for telomere research, but human and...
