Interplay between telomere length and telomerase in human leukocyte differentiation and aging
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Blood leukocytes derive from bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and differentiate into multiple types of mature cells that include granulocytes, monocytes, mast cells of myeloid lineage, and T and B lymphocytes of lymphoid lineage. Their distinctive paths of differentiation and unique roles in immune response provide a model for comparative analysis of biological parameters, such as telomere length and...
