Systematic and Cell Type-Specific Telomere Length Changes in Subsets of Lymphocytes
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres, the protective DNA-protein complexes at the ends of linear chromosomes, are important for genome stability. Leukocyte or peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) telomere length is a potential biomarker for human aging that integrates genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors and is associated with mortality and risks for major diseases. However, only a limited number of studies have examined...
