Scientists have discovered new properties of a substance that restores parts of the chromosomes inside some cells, which wear out as they divide. This enzyme is very important due to the fact that it can quickly divide cells - they can be both stem and cancer. Therefore, scientists are trying with the help of telomerase to learn how to treat cancer and aging.. Now there is information about its new features.

After recent research, scientists have received new data and have collected a more complete picture of an enzyme called telomerase.. Using cryoelectron microscopy, biologist Kelly Nguyen and colleagues studied and described the structure of matter with a resolution of 0.7 to 0.8 nm.

Researchers now understand how telomerase proteins and RNA come together. This discovery will allow us to study and make an improved plan during the fight against cancer, as well as to understand genetic diseases..

For the discovery of the properties of telomerase, biologists received the Nobel Prize in 2009.. Now scientists have made much progress in this issue of cancer treatment based on this substance..

Earlier it was reported that scientists figured out how to “cancel” old age and rejuvenate the body.
