Involvement of Inheritance in Determining Telomere Length beyond Environmental and Lifestyle Factors
1 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
All linear chromosomal ends have specific DNA-protein complexes called telomeres. Telomeres serve as a "molecular clock" to estimate the potential length of cell replication. Shortening of telomere length (TL) is associated with cellular senescence, aging, and various age-related diseases in humans. Here we reviewed the structure, function, and regulation of telomeres and the age-related diseases associated with...
