Breaking New Ground in Aging and Cancer Research We’re excited to celebrate a major achievement by Tulane Cancer Center researcher Jun-yuan Ji! His groundbreaking study on telomeres—those tiny, protective caps at the ends of our DNA—was featured in the prestigious journal Science Advances on January 3. Telomeres, often likened to the tips of shoelaces, safeguard our DNA but shorten over time. This natural process is linked to aging and diseases such as cancer. Dr. Ji’s innovative research uncovers how the protein E2F1 regulates telomeres, offering hope for strategies to slow telomere shortening and address age-related conditions. Stay tuned for more updates on how our researchers are driving breakthroughs in health and science.
