Early life infection, but not breastfeeding, predicts adult blood telomere lengths in the P hilippines

25 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Telomeres are repetitive DNA at chromosomes ends that shorten with age due to cellular replication and oxidative stress. As telomeres shorten, this can eventually place limits on cell replication and contribute to senescence. Infections are common during early development and activate cellular immune responses that involve clonal expansion and oxidative stress. As such, a high infectious disease...
