Changes of telomere length with aging
2 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
We reviewed our methodology and results of telomere measurements, with reference to telomere length and aging. Human tissues always showed telomere shortening with age, except for the brain and myocardium. Yearly rates of telomere length reduction in various tissues were mostly within the range 20-60 bp, and thus compatible with that expected from only one round of mitosis. It was suggested that when telomeres...
