Telomere length predicts replicative capacity of human fibroblasts.
When human fibroblasts from different donors are grown in vitro, only a small fraction of the variation in their finite replicative capacity is explained by the chronological ag...
Evidence for a mitotic clock in human hematopoietic stem cells: loss of telomeric DNA with age.
The proliferative life-span of the stem cells that sustain hematopoiesis throughout life is not known. It has been proposed that the sequential loss of telomeric DNA from the en...
Telomere shortening in renal cell carcinoma.
The ends of human chromosomes consist of a specialized structure, the telomere, composed of repeats of TTAGGG making up a total of 5-15 kilobase pairs, depending on age and prol...
Genetic analysis of indefinite division in human cells: evidence for a cell senescence-related gene(s) on human chromosome 4.
Earlier studies had demonstrated that fusion of normal with immortal human cells yielded hybrids having limited division potential. This indicated that the phenotype of limited ...
Hallmarks of Cellular Senescence
Cellular senescence is a permanent state of cell cycle arrest that promotes tissue remodeling during development and after injury, but can also contribute to the decline of the ...
