Sentences with phrase «telomeres in white blood cells»

Not exact matches

They specifically studied the length of telomeres (repeated DNA sequences) on the ends of chromosomes in leukocytes (white blood cells); the protective caps are believed to be markers of biological aging, because they shrink over time.

After five years, the telomeres on a type of white blood cell were 10 per cent longer on average in these men.

The study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology measured the length of white blood cell telomeres in 1,205 twins from the TwinsUK cohort.

In April, BioViva reported in a news release that telomeres in Parrish's white blood cells were longer, now consistent with those of a 45 - year - old instead of those of a retireIn April, BioViva reported in a news release that telomeres in Parrish's white blood cells were longer, now consistent with those of a 45 - year - old instead of those of a retirein a news release that telomeres in Parrish's white blood cells were longer, now consistent with those of a 45 - year - old instead of those of a retirein Parrish's white blood cells were longer, now consistent with those of a 45 - year - old instead of those of a retiree.

Previous studies have shown that white blood cell telomere length can be predictive of biological aging and is linked with telomere length in other cells in the body.

They found that women with the lowest number of eggs also had the shortest telomeres — the chromosome caps that wear away as cells age — in their white blood cells.

Scientists at King's College London have found that people who have previously suffered from acne are likely to have longer telomeres (the protective repeated nucleotides found at the end of chromosomes) in their white blood cells, meaning their cells could be better protected against aging.

They compared the telomere lengths in their white bloods cells at that time and then five years later.

What do the telomere lengths of white blood cells, which are dividing cells, tell us about what's happening in non-dividing cells, such as heart - muscle cells?

That makes telomere length particularly important for the cells of our immune system, especially the white blood cells circulating in our bloodstream.

In the study, Cohen and his team measured the telomere lengths of white blood cells from 152 healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 55.

Telomere length is arguably the best marker of biological age, and shorter mean telomere length, usually measured in your white blood cells, is associated with increased risk of heart disease, obesity, cancer, stroke, dementia, and premature deTelomere length is arguably the best marker of biological age, and shorter mean telomere length, usually measured in your white blood cells, is associated with increased risk of heart disease, obesity, cancer, stroke, dementia, and premature detelomere length, usually measured in your white blood cells, is associated with increased risk of heart disease, obesity, cancer, stroke, dementia, and premature death (2).
