Characterization and consequences of Telomere replication gone awry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Telomeres, the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, pose several unique challenges to genome stability. My thesis work is concerned with the difficulties the replication machinery encounters when attempting to replicate telomeres, and with possible ...

Multi‐Cohort Analysis Reveals Genetic Predispositions to Clonal Hematopoiesis as Mutation‐Specific Risk Factors for Stroke

open access: yesAdvanced Genetics, Volume 6, Issue 1, March 2025.
This study comprehensively evaluated the differential effect of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) mutations on the risk of various stroke subtypes and functional recovery. It shows that TET2 is associated with small vessel stroke possibly via a pro‐inflammatory pathway. Abstract Recent observational studies have found an association between Clonal Hematopoesis

The Impact of HIV and Parasite Single Infection and Coinfection on Telomere Length: A Systematic Review

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
HIV and parasite infections accelerate biological aging, resulting in immune senescence, apoptosis and cellular damage. Telomere length is considered to be one of the most effective biomarkers of biological aging.

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

open access: yesBiosaintifika: 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.

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 59-73, Spring 2025.
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Hormone therapy (HT) in women with premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause: Time to think of a new paradigm for healthy aging. A joint FIGO and IMS position paper

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause (EM) affect millions of women worldwide. Compared with normal menopause, they confer a longer duration of estrogen deficiency and are associated not only with a shorter lifespan, but with a reduced healthspan, owing to an increased risk of cardiovascular, skeletal, cognitive and ...

Influence of In Utero Maternal and Neonate Factors on Cord Blood Leukocyte Telomere Length: Clues to the Racial Disparity in Prostate Cancer?

open access: yesProstate Cancer, 2016
Background. Modifiable factors in adulthood that explain the racial disparity in prostate cancer have not been identified. Because racial differences in utero that may account for this disparity are understudied, we investigated the association of ...

Leukocyte telomere length variation due to DNA extraction method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Telomere length is indicative of biological age. Shorter telomeres have been associated with several disease and health states. There are inconsistencies throughout the literature amongst relative telomere length measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and ...

The womb as the cradle of longevity: Perinatal origins of biological aging

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract The perinatal period is increasingly recognized as an important determinant of biological aging trajectories and disease susceptibility across the lifespan. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence linking intrauterine exposures to adult health outcomes across three biological dimensions: fetal programming, maternal influences, and ...

Effects of brood size manipulation and common origin on phenotype and telomere length in nestling collared flycatchers

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2012
Background Evidence is accumulating that telomere length is a good predictor of life expectancy, especially early in life, thus calling for determining the factors that affect telomere length at this stage. Here, we investigated the relative influence of
