Mammalian telomeres are formed by tandem repeats of the TTAGGG sequence, which are
progressively lost with each round of cell division. Telomere protection requires a minimal …

Procedures for risk assessment of chemical mixtures, combined and cumulative exposures
are under development, but the scientific database needs considerable expansion. In …

Here, we show that a small‐molecule activator of telomerase (TA‐65) purified from the root
of Astragalus membranaceus is capable of increasing average telomere length and …

To identify new risk variants for cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, we performed a genome-
wide association study of 16 million SNPs identified through whole-genome sequencing of …

Introduction Identification of individuals at high risk for lung cancer should be of value to
individuals, patients, clinicians, and researchers. Existing prediction models have only …

Prostate cancer (PrCa) is the most frequently diagnosed male cancer in developed
countries. We conducted a multi-stage genome-wide association study for PrCa and …

We report a genome-wide association study for melanoma that was conducted by the
GenoMEL Consortium. Our discovery phase included 2,981 individuals with melanoma and …

Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer death worldwide. Although reduction of
tobacco consumption remains the most appropriate strategy to reduce lung-cancer burden …

Some patients with liver disease progress to cirrhosis, but the risk factors for cirrhosis
development are unknown. Dyskeratosis congenita, an inherited bone marrow failure …

GWAS of prostate cancer have been remarkably successful in revealing common genetic
variants and novel biological pathways that are linked with its etiology. A more complete …
