Lifestyle impacts on the aging‐associated expression of biomarkers of DNA damage and telomere dysfunction in human blood
17 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Cellular aging is characterized by telomere shortening, which can lead to uncapping of chromosome ends (telomere dysfunction) and activation of DNA damage responses. There is some evidence that DNA damage accumulates during human aging and that lifestyle factors contribute to the accumulation of DNA damage. Recent studies have identified a set of serum markers that are induced by telomere dysfunction and DNA...
