The impact of telomere shortening on human hippocampal neurogenesis: Implications for cognitive function and psychiatric disorder risk
2020-04-20
Abstract excerpt
Telomere shortening is one hallmark of cell ageing that can limit the proliferative capacity of cell populations and increase risk for age-related disease. It has been hypothesized that short telomeres, and subsequently a limited proliferative capacity of hippocampal progenitor cells, could contribute to smaller hippocampal volumes and impaired cognition, amongst psychiatric disorder patients. The current study em...
