Abstract
⺠Human telomeres are protected from the DDR by a higher-order structure. ⺠Intermediate-state telomeres are susceptible to a DDR and regulate senescence. ⺠Uncapped-state telomeres are susceptible to fusions and induce crisis. ⺠Intermediate-state telomeres regulate the prolonged mitosis checkpoint. ⺠Telomeres may serve as epigenetic sensors of cellular stress.
