"Based on Nobel Prize-winning genetic research-a simple plan to keep your telomeres healthy for better health and longevity. Telomeres play an important role in protecting our chromosomes from critical damage. The shortening of the telomere disrupts vital cellular function and p…
As the emergence of novel diseases in wildlife becomes more common, a better understanding of the impact of disease on populations and their demographic rates will be critical for their conservation. Populations naturally fluctuate over time as a function of the rates of birth, …
Most organisms are exposed to numerous environmental stressors at various points throughout life, and, through natural selection, organisms’ responses to such stressors have been optimized by natural selection for the best fitness outcomes. During the breeding season, wild verte…
Telomeres and telomerase are the two pivotal players that determine the course of cellular sensecence and immortalization. A universal problem for all eukaryotic cells with linear chromosomes is telomere shortening due to "end-replication problems;" its compensation by telomeras…
Telomeres and telomerase are the pivotal players that destine cellular senescence and immortalization. Telomere shortening due to "End-replication problem" in each cell cycle is a universal phenomenon for all eukaryotic cells with linear chromosomes. Its compensation by telomera…
