Telomere Length Dynamics in Normal Individuals and in Patients with Hematopoietic Stem Cell‐Associated Disorders
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
The telomere length in nucleated peripheral blood (PB) cells indirectly reflects the mitotic history of their precursors: the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The average length of telomeres in PB leukocytes can be measured using fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry (flow FISH). We previously used flow FISH to characterize the age-related turnover of HSCs in healthy individuals. In this review,...
