Telomeres are elongated in older individuals in a hibernating rodent, the edible dormouse (Glis glis)

24 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

Telomere shortening is thought to be an important biomarker for life history traits such as lifespan and aging, and can be indicative of genome integrity, survival probability and the risk of cancer development. In humans and other animals, telomeres almost always shorten with age, with more rapid telomere attrition in short-lived species. Here, we show that in the edible dormouse (Glis glis) telomere length...
