Telomere attrition is considered a hallmark of ageing. Untangling the proximate causes of
telomere attrition may therefore reveal important aspects about the ageing process. In a …

The prediction that telomere length (TL) shortens with increasing age is a major element in
considering the role of telomeres as a key player in evolution. While telomere attrition is …

Reproduction, a basic property of biological life, entails costs for an organism, ultimately
detectable as reduction in survival prospects. Telomeres are an excellent candidate …

Telomere length is increasingly used as a biomarker of long‐term somatic state and future
survival prospects. While most studies have overlooked this aspect, biological …

The complexity of the physiological phenotype currently prevents us from identifying an
integrative measure to assess how the internal state and environmental conditions modify …

The usage of telomere length (TL) in blood as a proxy for the TL of other tissues relies on the
assumption that telomere dynamics across all tissues are similar. However, telomere attrition …

Environmental conditions during early‐life development can have lasting effects shaping
individual heterogeneity in fitness and fitness‐related traits. The length of telomeres, the …

Telomere length and shortening rate are increasingly being used as biomarkers for long‐
term costs in ecological and evolutionary studies because of their relationships with survival …

Human recreational activities increase worldwide in space and frequency leading to higher
rates of encounter between humans and wild animals. Because wildlife often perceive …

Summary Background Platelet‐Rich Fibrin (PRF), a fibrin matrix produced by single blood
centrifugation that contains leukocytes, platelets, and growth factors, is increasingly being …
