Short telomeres and severe COVID-19: The connection conundrum

29 Jul 2021

Abstract excerpt

The exponential rise of COVID-19 mortality among older adults has been rightly attributed to a declining immunity with age. Still, for unknown reasons, older adults are far more likely to die from COVID-19 than from the seasonal influenza, and this puzzle demands specific answers. One of them emerges from the telomere study by Wang et al [1]. Other small studies [2,3], each less than 100 participants, have also...
