A new study suggests that people with shorter protective caps at the ends of their chromosomes, called telomeres, may have a higher risk of developing age-related brain diseases such as stroke ...

Figure 1: Strategy for detecting inter-telomeric copying of DNA. Figure 2: Detection of plasmid tag DNA at the telomere by FISH. We confirmed the FISH data by Southern-blot analysis of integrated ...

“This is the first mouse model with truly humanized telomeres because telomerase isn’t expressed in adult tissues in this model,” said Jiyue Zhu, PhD, professor, college of pharmacy and phar ...

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the causal effect and potential mechanisms between telomere length and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods: Summary statistics of telomere ...

Researchers analyze the following parts of DNA to determine a person's biological age: Diet, exercise, stress, smoking, sleep, and physical environment all affect a person's telomeres and DNA ...

Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune and degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Telomeres are protective structures located at the ends of linear ...
