Telomeres and their shortening have been studied in the context of psychiatric disorders for
about 10 years. A number of studies correlating telomere length (TL) with selected …

Major psychiatric disorders are linked to early mortality and patients afflicted with these
ailments demonstrate an increased risk of developing physical diseases that are …

Telomeres are structures of tandem TTAGGG repeats that are found at the ends of
chromosomes and preserve genomic DNA by serving as a disposable buffer to protect DNA …

Objectives: Psychiatric and substance-use disorders have been associated with premature
biological ageing. Telomere length (TL), considered an ageing marker, has been analysed …

Abstract Telomeres are repeated 5'-TTAGGG-3'sequences at the end of chromosomes,
which maintain genomic stability. Their length is related to a number of diseases that affect …

Background Telomeres are complex structures formed by the end of the DNA molecule at
the tip of chromosomal arms. The telomeric sequence, which results from the repetition of …

THE HUMAN TELOMERE: FROM CHROMOSOME END TO EPIDEMIOLOGIC PROPERTY
Over the last decades the focus of telomere biology research has shifted from basic biology …

Many psychiatric illnesses are associated with early mortality and with an increased risk of
developing physical diseases that are more typically seen in the elderly. Moreover, certain …

Human telomeres are regions of tandem TTAGGG repeats at chromosomal ends that protect
chromosomes from degradation, fusion and recombination. 1 Over time, because of each …

Telomeres play a central role in cell fate and aging by adjusting the cellular response to both
biological and psychological stress. Human telomeres are regions of tandem TTAGGG …
