Published: Jan. 18, 2017, 8:48 p.m.

Eros Lazzerini Denchi PhD, Associate Professor, The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) talks about his exciting discovery of a protein that fine-tunes the cellular clock and impacts aging and the development of cancer.\xa0 The novel protein TZAP binds the ends of chromosomes and controls a process called telomere trimming.\xa0 Eros provides a little perspective about the long journey in our understanding of telomeres and telomerase and the intriguing questions that this new discovery opens up. \xa0
