Telomere length and radiosensitivity in human fibroblast clones immortalized by ectopic telomerase expression.
Telomeres, the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, have a variable length among individuals and cell types. While studies in telomerase-deficient mice and cells showed an inverse correlation between telomere length and radiosensitivity, it is less clear whether this remains true in telomerase-proficient cells. To gain insight into this topic, we studied radiosensitivity in three telomerase immortal...
متن کاملWhite cell telomere length and risk of premature myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE Biological age may be distinct from chronological age and contribute to the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. Mean telomeres lengths provide an assessment of biological age with shorter telomeres, indicating increased biological age. We investigated whether subjects with premature myocardial infarction (MI) had shorter leukocyte telomeres. METHODS AND RESULTS Mean terminal restr...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in telomere length of human chromosomes.
Vertebrate chromosomes terminate in variable numbers of T2AG3 nucleotide repeats. In order to study telomere repeats at individual chromosomes, we developed novel, quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization procedures using labeled (C3TA2)3 peptide nucleic acid and digital imaging microscopy. Telomere fluorescence intensity values from metaphase chromosomes of cultured human hematopoietic ...
متن کاملAn Argument against Epiphenomenalism
_________________________________________________ I formulate an argument against epiphenomenalism; the argument shows that epiphenomenalism is extremely improbable. Moreover the argument suggests that qualia not only have causal powers, but have their causal powers necessarily. I address possible objections and then conclude by considering some implications the argument has for dualism.
متن کاملInterplay between telomere length and telomerase in human leukocyte differentiation and aging.
Blood leukocytes derive from bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and differentiate into multiple types of mature cells that include granulocytes, monocytes, mast cells of myeloid lineage, and T and B lymphocytes of lymphoid lineage. Their distinctive paths of differentiation and unique roles in immune response provide a model for comparative analysis of biological parameters, such as telomere ...
