Overview
Provides an in depth review of our current knowledge on the role of telomeres and telomerase in ageing, disease and cancer
Special focus is on adult stem cells
Describes future directions in research on adult stem cell ageing, telomeres, and cancer
Excellent basis for academic teachers, scientists, and students interested in the areas of stem cell ageing, telomeres and telomerase, regeneration, and cancer
Interesting for physicians since the development of molecular therapies targeting ageing stem cells represents a promising approach to improve regenerative reserve and organ function during ageing and could also serve to target cancer stem cells
