Shorter leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with several ... We assessed the whole diet by a validated semiquantitative 128-item food-frequency questionnaire. In this cross-sectional ...

But a new study finds that, despite this apparent rebirth, younger forests may not offer those birds the same quality of ...

In contrast, most human tumors express telomerase, resulting in stabilized telomere length. These observations indicate that telomere maintenance is essential to the proliferation of tumor cells.

Telomere length (TL) varies among individuals but steadily ... By contrast, diets with processed foods, unhealthy fats, and sugars have been associated with shorter TLs and accelerated aging.

A new study suggests that people with shorter protective caps at the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, may have a ...

Maintaining normal telomere length and integrity is critical for correct cell function and to avoid senescence-like growth arrest. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Genetics, Marta ...

Cancer cells utilize one of the two Telomere Maintenance Mechanisms (TMM) to maintain their telomeres during uncontrolled proliferation; telomerase or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). ALT ...

and stress management have been shown to preserve telomere length. For instance, moderate exercise and antioxidant-rich foods help combat inflammation, a key driver of telomere degradation and age ...

Some cells that do not produce telomerase are still able to maintain telomere length. Roger Reddel, [5] of the Children's Medical Research Institute in Sydney, Australia, is investigating this ...

He and his collaborators have developed a high-resolution in situ method for direct telomere length assessment in formalin-fixed tissue specimens, [4] and they used this method to study telomere ...

that counteracts telomere shortening by synthesizing new telomeric DNA from either an RNA template using the enzyme telomerase or a DNA template using a mechanism called alternative lengthening of ...
