Telomeres are tandem repeat DNA sequences present at the ends of each eukaryotic
chromosome to stabilize the genome structure integrity. Telomere lengths progressively …

Atherosclerosis is the focal expression of a systemic disease affecting medium‐and large‐
sized arteries, in which traditional cardiovascular risk factor and immune factors play a key …

Migration of activated regulatory T (Treg) cells to inflamed tissue is crucial for their immune-
modulatory function. While metabolic reprogramming during Treg cell differentiation has …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality.
These diseases have a multifaceted nature being influenced by a multitude of biochemical …

Schizophrenia is associated with decreased life expectancy (15–25 y) compared to the
general population, with comorbid somatic diseases and in particular cardiovascular …

Extracellular ATP (eATP) is a signaling molecule that variably affects all cells of the immune
system either directly or after hydrolysis to adenosine. Although eATP is virtually absent in …

Telomeres are tandem repeat DNA sequences located at distal ends of chromosomes that
protect against genomic DNA degradation and chromosomal instability. Excessive telomere …

Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial vascular disease that leads to inflammation and stiffening
of the arteries and decreases their elasticity due to the accumulation of calcium, small dense …

Little research has examined determinants of newborn telomere length, a potential
biomarker of lifetime disease risk impacted by prenatal exposures. No study has examined …

Newborn telomere length is a potential biomarker of the effects of maternal-fetal processes
on offspring long-term health. A number of maternal psychosocial and environmental factors …
