Regulation and Effect of Telomerase and Telomeric Length in Stem Cells
23 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are the protective end caps of eukaryotic chromosomes and they determine the proliferative lifespan of somatic cells, as the protectors of cell replication. Telomere length in leucocytes reflects telomere length in other somatic cells. Leucocyte telomere length can be a biomarker of human ageing. The risk of diseases associated with reduced cell proliferation and tissue degeneration, including aging or...
