Aging is a complex biological process characterized by hallmark features accumulating over
the life course, shaping the individual's aging trajectory and subsequent disease risks. There …

Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in
lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and …

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 …

The mechanisms that contribute to variation in lifetime reproductive success are not well
understood. One possibility is that telomeres, conserved DNA sequences at chromosome …

Telomeres, the nucleotide sequences that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes,
shorten with each cell division and telomere loss may be influenced by environmental …

Telomere length (TL) is an important biomarker of cellular aging, yet its links with health
outcomes may be complicated by use of different tissues. We evaluated within-and between …

Studies on human telomeres have established that telomeres exert a significant influence on
lifespan and health of organisms. However, recent research has indicated that the original …

Telomeres and telomerase prevent the continuous erosion of chromosome‐ends caused by
lifelong cell division. Shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related pathologies …

Telomeres, the repetitive DNA regions that protect the ends of chromosomes, and their
shortening have been linked to key life history trade-offs among growth, reproduction and …

Astronauts are exposed to harsh conditions, including cosmic radiation and microgravity.
Spaceflight elongates human telomeres in peripheral blood, which shorten upon return to …
