Aging is a universal process that can cause diminished function of organs and various
diseases. The most striking consequences of aging can be seen visibly on the skin, which …

Studies of rare and common illnesses have led to remarkable progress in the understanding
of the role of telomeres (nucleoprotein complexes at chromosome ends essential for …

In mammals, aging is associated with accumulation of senescent cells. Stresses such as
telomere shortening and reactive oxygen species induce “cellular senescence”, which is …

Aging is a risk factor for several pathologies, restricting one's health span, and promoting
chronic diseases (eg, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases), as well as cancer …

People who have a balanced diet and engage in more physical activity live longer, healthier
lives. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that these associations reflect a slowing of …

As the world demographic structure is getting older, highlighting strategies to counteract age-
related diseases is a major public health concern. Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures …

The telomere length (TL) has increasingly been used as a biomarker of human aging
because it has been shown to predict the chances of survival and longevity. Oxidative stress …

Ageing is an unavoidable multi-factorial process, characterised by a gradual decrease in
physiological functionality and increasing vulnerability of the organism to environmental …

Telomeres are often considered as the 'ageing clock'that determines the lifespan at the
cellular level, forming the ends of a chromosome, which shorten each time the cell divides …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity for all sexes,
racial and ethnic groups. Age, and its associated physiological and pathological …
