Inherited genetic variation influencing leukocyte telomere length provides a natural
experiment for testing associations with health outcomes, more robust to confounding and …

The great majority of thyroid cancers are of the non-medullary type. Here we report findings
from a genome-wide association study of non-medullary thyroid cancer, including in total …

Plasminogen activator inhibitor–1 (PAI-1) has been shown to be a key component of the
senescence-related secretome and a direct mediator of cellular senescence. In murine …

Telomeres play an important part in aging and show relationships to lifetime adversity,
particularly childhood adversity. Meta-analyses demonstrate reliable associations between …

Glioma, the most common central nervous system cancer in adults, has poor prognosis.
Here we identify a new SNP associated with glioma risk, rs1920116 (near TERC), that …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health problem with an increasing
prevalence partly driven by aging population structure. Both genomic and environmental …

Shortened telomeres have been linked to numerous chronic diseases, most importantly
coronary artery disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain ill defined. Loss-of-function …

Objectives Human age‐dependent telomere attrition and telomere shortening are
associated with several age‐associated diseases and poorer overall survival. The aim of …

Recent work has linked psychological stress with premature cellular aging as indexed by
reduced leukocyte telomere length. The combination of shorter telomeres with high …

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of meaning-centered group
psychotherapy for cancer survivors (MCGP-CS) to improve personal meaning, compared …
