Telomere Length: The Intersection of Sociology, Molecular Biology, and Human Disease

Article history: Received 16 August 2016 Accepted 16 August 2016 Available online 18 August 2016 (Needham et al., 2013), however most studies comparing telomere length (TL) across racial/ethnic groups have found that in general African-Americans tend to have longer telomeres than Whites (Hou et al., 2015; Needham et al., 2013). This counterintuitive finding has led researchers to hypothesize th...

Telomere biology and cardiovascular disease.

Accumulation of cellular damage with advancing age leads to atherothrombosis and associated cardiovascular disease. Ageing is also characterized by shortening of the DNA component of telomeres, the specialized genetic segments located at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes that protect them from end-to-end fusions. By inducing genomic instability, replicative senescence and apoptosis, shortening ...

An Intersection of Topology and Molecular Biology

limited only by the rules that no region can shrink to a single point or cross through another region (4). If two knots can be wrangled into one another by a finite series of such deformations, we call them “equivalent.” For any knot in 3-dimensional space, we can draw an infinite number of equivalent knots on paper by applying our favorite deformations (1, 4). Therefore, even in this naughtily...

Human papillomavirus molecular biology and disease association

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have evolved over millions of years to propagate themselves in a range of different animal species including humans. Viruses that have co-evolved slowly in this way typically cause chronic inapparent infections, with virion production in the absence of apparent disease. This is the case for many Beta and Gamma HPV types. The Alpha papillomavirus types have however ...
