Changes in telomere length with aging in human neurons and glial cells revealed by quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis
10 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
AIM: The telomere is a structure present at the ends of chromosomes, and is known to shorten with aging and successive rounds of cell division. However, very little is known about telomere attrition in post-mitotic cells, such as neurons. METHODS: Using our originally developed quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization method, we analyzed age-dependent alterations of telomere length in three types of cells...
