Aging is an inevitable fact of life, and considering the alternative, it is viewed with much more disdain than it really ...

Previous studies have shown telomere length is closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress, and it is known that exercise can suppress both factors over time. “Just because you’re 40 ...

“The novelty and merit of this work is that the authors demonstrate, for the first time, that [telomere transcription] occurs in response to physical exercise in a physiological system—human muscle,” ...

5 This checkpoint is important to prevent cells from replicating damaged DNA. Due to this phenomenon, scientists describe telomere length as a biological clock that indicates the lifespan of a cell ...

Researchers are delving deeper into the role of leukocyte telomere length as it relates to stroke, dementia, and depression ...

Regular intensive exercise slows cellular aging by maintaining ... There was no significant difference in telomere length between those with low or moderate physical activity and the sedentary ...

Telomere length can be affected by genetics ... A Brain Care Score assessment quantified their modifiable risk factors such as blood pressure, diet, exercise, stress and the strength of social ...

Thus, telomerase is able to both maintain and extend the length of telomeres. At the cellular level, telomerase-deficient mice show chromosomal abnormalities several generations before defects ...

The study did not find that the telomere length directly causes these age-related brain diseases. However, it indicates that healthier lifestyle choices might significantly counteract the harmful ...

We assessed the relationship between measures of adiposity, leukocyte telomere length, and mortality and whether it is modified by age. For this secondary analysis of data, we utilized the 1999 ...

Leukocyte telomere length, which reflects the length of the telomeres within white blood cells (leukocytes), is a known marker of biological aging. Telomeres gradually shorten with age ...
