  • Assay for telomere length regulators
    Patent number: 11156599
    Abstract: The present invention provides an assay that identifies genes required for telomerase-dependent telomere elongation by measuring the de novo telomere addition at a single chromosome.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 26, 2021
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Carol W. Greider, Stella S. Lee
  • METHOD FOR REGULATION OF TELOMERE LENGTH
    Publication number: 20180110777
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for increasing telomere length comprising contacting a cell with an agent that activates the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase pathway or a cyclin dependent kinase pathway, thereby elongating telomeres in the cell. Also provided is a method for treating disorders such as cancer and telomere syndromes.
