BOSTON -- Mice lacking a gene for making telomeres -- chromosomal elements
with a conjectured but controversial role in aging and cancer -- were found
to go gray, lose hair faster, and recover less easily from the stress of
surgery and chemotherapy than normal animals. They also developed tumors
more often and died earlier, a team of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI)
researchers report in the March 5 Cell.
