Telomeres are the protective end caps of chromosomes and shorten with every cell division.
Telomere length has been proposed as a biomarker of biological age and a risk factor for …

Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease where
chronic inflammation and tissue or organ damage is observed. Due to various suspected …

Ageing can occur at different rates, but what controls this variable rate is unknown. Here I
have developed a hypothesis that vitamin D may act to control the rate of ageing. The basis …

Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures located at the end of linear
chromosomes and telomerase is the enzyme responsible for telomere elongation …

Background: Cognitive decline in older adults is a serious public health problem today.
Association between vitamin D supplementation and cognition remains controversial …

The endogenous serum metabolite of vitamin D (calcitriol, 1, 25 (OH) 2D3) is considered a
true steroid hormone (D hormone), and like glucocorticoids (GCs) and gonadal hormones …

Vitamin D deficiency is present even in sunny regions. Ageing decreases pre-vitamin D
production in the skin and is associated with altered cytokine profile. We performed a …

Aim The indicators for measuring vitamin D are various, and 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)
D) is considered as the optimal indicator of total vitamin D levels. In this study, we aim to …

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by a progressive decline of organ
functions leading to an increased risk of age-associated diseases and death. Decades of …

Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences that together with the associated sheltrin
complex protect the ends of chromosomes and maintain genomic stability. Evidences from …
