First, using telomere length to predict outcomes on disease states in populations with obesity may only reveal associations in younger as compared to older adults. Second, the use of biological ...

Recent research is revealing that the earliest stages of human development, even before birth, may hold the key to predicting ...

The outcomes of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remain unknown. Alongside the global adoption of antifibrotic therapies, there is currently relentless research for biomarkers and ...

Oxidative stress can trigger accelerated telomere shortening by uncapping telomeres or inhibiting telomerase activity. Telomere length measurements provide valuable insights into diverse biological ...

Researchers have mapped non-B DNA motifs in the genomes of great apes, highlighting their potential role in genome evolution, ...

At this point, telomeres are at their shortest critical length. Telomeres have a direct connection to ageing, disease, and ...

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has ...
