Telomere shortening by transgenerational transmission of TNF-α-induced TERRA via ATF7
30 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Various stresses increase disease susceptibility and accelerate aging, and increasing evidence suggests that these effects can be transmitted over generation. Epidemiological studies suggest that stressors experienced by parents affect the longevity of their offspring, possibly by regulating telomere dynamics. Telomeres are elongated by telomerase and shortened by certain stresses as well as telomere...
