Reflections on telomere dynamics and ageing-related diseases in humans
Epidemiological studies have principally relied on measurements of telomere length (TL) in leucocytes, which reflects TL in other somatic cells.

The most important transition is the one from no treatment at all to treatment becoming available, like in haemophilia about 45 years ago. Another transiti...
متن کاملAutophagy and ageing: implications for age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
Autophagy is a process of lysosome-dependent intracellular degradation that participates in the liberation of resources including amino acids and energy to maintain homoeostasis. Autophagy is particularly important in stress conditions such as nutrient starvation and any perturbation in the ability of the cell to activate or regulate autophagy can lead to cellular dysfunction and disease. An ar...
