Alterations of the systemic environment are the primary cause of impaired B and T lymphopoiesis in telomere-dysfunctional mice

Abstract excerpt

There is growing evidence that telomere dysfunction can contribute to human aging. Telomere dysfunction limits lymphopoiesis in aging telomerase knockout (mTerc(-/-)) mice primarily by the induction of stem cell-extrinsic alterations. The relative contribution of alterations in the stem cell niche and the systemic environment to the impairment of lymphopoiesis in response to telomere dysfunction is currently...
