Abstract
⺠Telomere proteins participate in telomere protection, replication and length regulation. ⺠Mammalian telomeres are protected by the shelterin complex. ⺠Telomeres may switch between closed, protected and open, replication-competent states. ⺠Telomere replication is a multi-step process that involves telomerase, CST and shelterin. ⺠Defects in telomere replication and loss of telomere protection can impact human health.
