Effect of Testosterone Treatment on Leucocyte Telomere Length in Men: Results From a Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lower testosterone concentrations in older men are associated with poorer health outcomes. Objective We examined whether, on a background of lifestyle intervention, testosterone treatment modulates leucocyte telomere length, a postulated marker of biological ageing, in overweight men with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or newly ...

Integrating novel therapeutic strategies in myeloproliferative neoplasms: Driving disease‐directed progress

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Over the past decade, there has been a substantial increase in the diversity and number of therapeutic options for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). While many remain within the clinical trial arena, the clinician and patient community have seen more approvals reaching the clinic and a rethink on how best we should be approaching these ...

Telomere length in leukocytes and cervical smears of women with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) infection

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020
Objective: Persistent high-risk HPV (HR HPV) infection leads to the development of squamous intraepithelial lesions, which in turn may progress to cervical cancer. Telomere elongation or shortening may indicate a carcinogenesis process.

Aberrant leukocyte telomere length in Birdshot Uveitis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Birdshot Uveitis (BU) is an archetypical chronic inflammatory eye disease, with poor visual prognosis, that provides an excellent model for studying chronic inflammation. BU typically affects patients in the fifth decade of life.

Distinct clinical and genetic characteristics of myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Myelodysplastic neoplasms (formerly myelodysplastic syndromes, MDS) are heterogeneous clonal haematological malignancies that primarily affect the elderly, though a notable proportion of patients are diagnosed at younger ages. We retrospectively analysed 1437 patients diagnosed or treated at Asan Medical Center between 1989 and 2022, comparing ...

The Effect of Physical Activity agains the Telomere Length in the Leukocytes Cells of KONI Athletes

Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2017
Telomeres are strands of non coding DNA at the ends of chromosomes that have the primary function to protect DNA from damage and maintain chromosomal stability.

Splicing Factor Mutations in Clonal Hematopoiesis and Progression to Myeloid Neoplasms

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Splicing factor (SF)‐mutant CH is characterized by relatively late emergence and accelerated clonal expansion in older individuals. This review summarizes its clonal dynamics, disease‐associated consequences of SF mutations in myeloid neoplasms, and candidate mechanisms that may contribute to age‐dependent selection.

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and leukocyte telomere length

BMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes, and telomere length represents a biological marker for cellular aging.
