Identification of Novel Regulators of Telomere Length and its Impact on Endothelial Dysfunction
Telomere length (TL) is highly heritable and associated with a plethora of health conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer's and coronary artery disease (CAD). A number of studies have linked TL to CAD, with short TL preceding disease onset. Genetic studies support a causal link between the two, though the mechanism rem...
