    GlossaryTelomerase

    enzyme that extends chromosome ends to prevent shortening

    Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the ends of chromosomes, known as telomeres, to prevent them from becoming too short during cell division. This process is crucial for maintaining the stability and integrity of genetic information, particularly in stem cells and cancer cells, which divide frequently.
