Telomere length (TL) has long been associated with aging, as telomeres serve as protective
caps of chromosomes, and are thus deeply involved in the preservation of genome integrity …

In brief Oxidative stress is recognized as an underlying driving factor of both telomere
dysfunction and human subfertility/infertility. This review briefly reassesses telomere integrity …

The telomeric noncoding RNA TERRA is a key component of telomeres and it is widely
expressed in normal as well as cancer cells. In the last 15 years, several publications have …

Telomeres are located at the outermost ends of all eukaryotic chromosomes and provide for
the maintenance of genomic stability and integrity during the life span of organisms. The …

The double burden of under‐and overnutrition profoundly affects human health globally.
According to the World Health Organization, obesity and diabetes rates have almost …

Telomeres are repeat regions of DNA that cap either end of each chromosome, thereby
providing stability and protection from the degradation of gene-rich regions. Each cell …

Purpose The effect of age on telomere length heterogeneity in men has not been studied
previously. Our aims were to determine the relationship between variation in sperm telomere …

During meiotic prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair, synapse and recombine in a
tightly regulated process that ensures the generation of genetically variable haploid …

Telomeres are repetitive non-coding DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes
in eukaryotic cells. Their most important function is to protect chromosome ends from being …

Telomeres protect against genome instability and participate in chromosomal movements
during gametogenesis, especially in meiosis. Thus, maintaining telomere structure and …
