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

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a potential breakthrough in the fight ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

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

WSU researchers have created HuT mice with human-like short telomeres, allowing for groundbreaking studies on aging, cancer, ...

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

Globally, scientists are working to unlock the secrets of extending human lifespan at the cellular level, where aging occurs gradually due to the shortening of telomeres–the protective caps at the ...

Figure 1: Telomere shortening has contrasting effects on the survival of Apc Min mice. Figure 2: Contrasting effects of telomere shortening on tumor formation in Apc Min mice. Figure 5 ...

The mouse model in the study is reportedly quite different as it allows scientists to observe the aging process in a whole ...

These structures function like shoelace tips, preventing genetic material from unraveling. Over time, telomere shortening limits a cell’s ability to divide, leading to cellular aging and eventual cell ...

While the link between aging and stroke, dementia and late-life depression is well established, the finding that telomere shortening in white blood cells can be a sign of aging holds significant ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more likely to have strokes or develop dementia and late-life depression, new ...
