20 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increased cell turnover in response to injury is considered to be important in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Telomere shortening has been shown to be associated with cell turnover. We assessed the telomere length of human coronary endothelial cells to clarify whether there is a relationship between telomere shortening and coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS: Coronary...
