Could telomere shortening protect against cancer?

 Researchers at Rockefeller University studied the TIN2 protein associated with telomere length. They found that telomere shortening — a sign of cellular aging — might help protect against cancer.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that in 2017, over 1.7 million people in the U.S. developed cancer, while there were nearly 600,000 deaths.

Scientists have made great strides in cancer research over the past few decades, but continuing to learn more about how it functions is paramount to prevention and developing new therapies.

A new study that appears in eLife examines the connection between telomeres, the caps at the end of DNA strands, and cancer.
