In vivo loss of telomeric repeats with age in humans
Open accessAbstract
Telomeric DNA in the skin cells of 21 human subjects aged between 0 and 92 years was quantified by determining the length of the telomeric smear and the relative amount of TTAGGG repeat sequences. Both telomere length and quantity of telomeric repeat sequences were found to decrease significantly with age. Telomere loss has previously been postulated to be a caused of cell senescence.

“Telomere shortening also accompanies aging of mitotically active human tissues with high turnover, including blood, liver, skin, testis, and kidneys (Aikata et al., 2000; Friedrich et al., 2000; Lindsey et al., 1991; Takubo et al., 2000; Vaziri et al., 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
