Abstract: Aims This study aimed to examine the role of plasma telomerase (TE), plasma insulin, patient’s age and disease duration in determination of the leucocytes’ telomeres length (LTL) in T2DM. Methods Blood samples from Kuwaiti patients… read more here.

Abstract: Telomere length (TL) shortens with age but telomere dynamics can relate to fitness components independent of age. Immune function often relates to such fitness components and can also interact with telomeres. Studying the link between… read more here.
