Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at eukaryotic chromosome ends and function in
maintaining genome integrity and stability. These unique structures undergo shortening due …

Telomeres are located at the ends of all eukaryotic chromosomes and protect them from
deleterious events such as inappropriate DNA repair, illegitimate recombination or improper …

Recent evidence shows that telomeres are implicated in most processes related to female
fertility, embryo development and the newborn's health. Thus, telomere length and …

Telomeres are repeated DNA sequences whose main function is to preserve genome
stability, protecting chromosomes ends from shortening caused by progressive loss during …

Telomeres promote genome integrity by protecting chromosome ends from the activation of
the DNA damage response and protecting chromosomes from the loss of coding sequences …

Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein, has been described as an essential component of highly
proliferative cells as it stabilizes the telomeres and avoids cellular senescence. The …

Aneuploidy represents the most prevalent form of genetic instability found in human
embryos and is the leading genetic cause of miscarriage and developmental delay in …

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 are repeated sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes and harbour DNA
repair proteins. Telomeres shorten during each cell division in the absence of telomerase …

This is a retrospective study aiming to assess telomere length in human embryos 4 days
post fertilization and to determine whether it is correlated to chromosomal ploidy, embryo …
