- Telomere - Wikipedia
A Real-Time PCR assay for telomere length involves determining the Telomere-to-Single Copy Gene (T S) ratio, which is demonstrated to be proportional to the average telomere length in a cell
- Telomeres: The Role of Shortening in Cancer and Aging, How to Avo
We’ll dive into the recent research surrounding telomere shortening, cancer, and aging You’ll learn how diet, exercise, and stress management affect telomeres
- Telomere
The telomere itself is a long stretch of a specific short DNA sequence repeated over and over hundreds of times At the very end of the telomere is a sort of knot not called the "T-loop," which keeps the chromosome ends from all sticking together
- Are Telomeres the Key to Aging and Cancer - University of Utah
While telomere shortening has been linked to the aging process, it is not yet known whether shorter telomeres are just a sign of aging like gray hair or actually contribute to aging
- Telomeres and Telomere Length: A General Overview - PMC
Several single nucleotide polymorphisms at different loci, identified through genome-wide association studies, influence inter-individual variation in telomere length In addition to genetic factors, environmental factors also influence telomere length during growth and development
- Telomeres and Telomerase: Structure and Functions
Telomere length varies between individual chromosomes, they do not have the same telomere length in all individuals This can affect the measurement of telomeres
- Biochemistry, Telomere And Telomerase - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Telomeres play a significant role in cellular senescence in humans and have made major contributions to human aging Pathologically, dysregulated expression of the telomere synthesis mechanism causes cellular immortality, leading to potential oncogenesis and tumorigenesis [3]
- Telomeres: Function, Role in Aging, and Impact on Health
Explore the biology of telomere shortening, a natural process that serves as a cellular clock, linking the integrity of our DNA to aging and long-term health
