| 41. | However, shortened telomeres impair immune function that might also increase cancer susceptibility.
|
| 42. | Telomere shortening is associated with aging, mortality and aging-related diseases.
|
| 43. | It has also been suggested that longer telomeres might cause increased energy consumption.
|
| 44. | Telomerase is the natural enzyme that promotes telomere lengthening.
|
| 45. | Several techniques are currently employed to assess average telomere length in eukaryotic cells.
|
| 46. | After many divisions, the telomeres become depleted and the cell begins apoptosis.
|
| 47. | In humans, skeletal muscle telomere lengths remain stable from ages 23 74.
|
| 48. | Caretakers have been identified as crucial to encoding products that maintain the telomeres.
|
| 49. | It also may have a role in telomere stability.
|
| 50. | Revesz syndrome is a genetic disease thought to be caused by short telomeres.
