AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the roles of TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) and the shelterin complex in neuronal regeneration, particularly in the context of telomere dynamics and telomerase activity in normal versus reprogrammed neurons. It highlights emerging research indicating that TERT may have additional functions beyond telomere maintenance, especially during the reprogramming of somatic cells. A 2014 paper is referenced, suggesting that TERT plays a significant role in these processes, though specific details and references are sought for further clarity. The conversation emphasizes the need for more insights into the variations in telomere and telomerase characteristics between different types of neurons.

what will be function of TERT,and shelterin complex protein in Neuron regeneration,is their any variant in telomere and telomerase between normal neuron and reprogramm neurons?

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
Extre telomeric function of TERT

Recently a paper published on april 2014,their is a extra telomeric function role while reprogramming of somatic cell

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
