In other diseases associated with oxidative stress, telomere shortening is also observed; this phenomenon is correlated with age ( Harley CB et al., 1990 ) https://t.co/pklA6sNCiu
In 1990 Dr. Greider and her collaborators provided evidence that telomere length was related to cellular aging. They also found that telomerase was activated in cancer cells allowing them to continue as immortalized cells. https://t.co/MEjAvmbkNY https://
