Short and dysfunctional telomeres are sufficient to induce a persistent DNA damage response at chromosome ends, which leads to the induction of senescence and/or apoptosis and to various age-related conditions, including a group of diseases known as "telomere syndromes", which are provoked by extremely short telomeres owing to germline mutations in telomere genes.

(Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas)
Neurodegenerative diseases associated with old age such as Alzheimer's disease present major problems for society, and they currently have no cure. The telomere protective caps at the ends of chromosomes shorten with age, and when they become critically short, they can induce a persistent DNA damage response at chromosome ends, triggering secondary cellular responses such as cell death and cellular senescence.

The shelterin complex protects telomeres by preventing them from being degraded and recognized as double-strand breaks. 1 is an essential component of shelterin, with important roles in telomere protection and telomere replication. [...]
