The relationship between aging and cancer has its basis in cell cycle alterations. While multiple factors affect cell cycle progression, recent research has directed a great deal of attention to telomere length as a key factor affecting mammalian cell proliferation. This article discusses recent findings with respect to the role of telomeres and telomerase in cancer, cellular aging, and longevity.
