Answer
Telomeres and telomerase are the primary focus of Greider's research. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division. Telomerase is an enzyme that can extend telomeres, potentially preventing cell death and aging-related diseases. Greider's work has advanced our understanding of these structures and their role in cellular health and aging.
