Does a Sentinel or a Subset of Short Telomeres Determine Replicative Senescence?
8 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
The proliferative life span of human cells is limited by telomere shortening, but the specific telomeres responsible for determining the onset of senescence have not been adequately determined. We here identify the shortest telomeres by the frequency of signal-free ends after in situ hybridization with telomeric probes and demonstrate that probes adjacent to the shortest ends colocalize with gammaH2AX-positive...
