Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of linear chromosomes that
preserve the integrity and stability of the genome. Telomere dysfunctions due to short …

Epidemiological data convey severe prognosis and high mortality rate for COVID-19 in
elderly men affected by age-related diseases. These subjects develop local and systemic …

Background Telomere length (TL) predicts the onset of cellular senescence and correlates
with longevity and age-related disease risk. While telomeres erode throughout life, adults …

Latinx mothers in the United States are highly vulnerable to psychosocial stressors,
including discrimination and acculturative stress, which increase maternal health risks …

There is growing interest in telomere length as an indicator of current and future health.
Although early childhood is a period of rapid telomere attrition, little is known about the …

Background Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) are endocrine disrupting chemicals with widespread exposures across the …

Background Pro-inflammatory conditions such as air pollution might induce biological
ageing. However, the available evidence on such an impact in children is still very scarce …

Telomere length is considered one of the most relevant biological markers of genomic
stability since it protects DNA from impairment and also ensures chromosome alignment …

Abstract The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study enrolled
8676 children, 3–4 months of age, born with HLA-susceptibility genotypes for islet …

Background: While biological age in adults is often understood as representing general
health and resilience, the conceptual interpretation of accelerated biological age in children …
