Immunosenescence is associated with human cytomegalovirus and shortened telomeres in type I bipolar disorder
10 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Bipolar disorder (BD) has been associated with persistent low-grade inflammation and premature cell senescence, as shown by reduced telomere length (TL). The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) has increasingly been implicated in accelerated immunosenescence in aging studies. Here, we compared CMV serology and its relationships with cell senescence markers, including TL and lymphocyte subsets, in patients with...
