Sustained telomere length in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes with increasing age in normal liver
13 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Telomeres, a validated biomarker of aging, comprise multiple nucleotide repeats capping chromosomes that shorten with each cell cycle until a critical length is achieved, precipitating cell senescence. Only two previous studies focused on the effect of aging in "normal" liver tissue, but these studies were compromised by small sample size, limited age range, tissue derived from individuals with an...
