[Longevity clocks: The promoting role of telomeres?].
Cherfils-Vicini J, Gilson É. Cherfils-Vicini J, et al. Med Sci (Paris). 2020 Dec;36(12):1113-1117. doi: 10.1051/medsci/2020242. Epub 2020 Dec 9. Med Sci (Paris). 2020. PMID: 33296627 Free article. Review. French.
Aging is an alteration of our physiological capacities that is accompanied by an increased susceptibility to develop a wide range of diseases and which determines in large part our longevity. Despite intensive research on the origin of aging, its etiology is still poorly u …

Telomeres, Nutrition, and Longevity: Can We Really Navigate Our Aging?
Vidacek NŠ, Nanic L, Ravlic S, Sopta M, Geric M, Gajski G, Garaj-Vrhovac V, Rubelj I. Vidacek NŠ, et al. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2017 Dec 12;73(1):39-47. doi: 10.1093/gerona/glx082. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2017. PMID: 28510637 Review.
They are known to be one of the major determinants of aging and longevity in higher mammals. Studies have demonstrated a direct correlation between telomere length and life expectancy, stress, DNA damage, and onset of aging-related diseases. This review discusses th …

Telomeres and Longevity: A Cause or an Effect?
Adwan Shekhidem H, Sharvit L, Leman E, Manov I, Roichman A, Holtze S, M Huffman D, Y Cohen H, Bernd Hildebrandt T, Shams I, Atzmon G. Adwan Shekhidem H, et al. Int J Mol Sci. 2019 Jul 1;20(13):3233. doi: 10.3390/ijms20133233. Int J Mol Sci. 2019. PMID: 31266154 Free PMC article.
Furthermore, differences in age-related telomere attrition were established between short-lived and long-lived organisms. However, whether telomere length is a "biological thermometer" that reflects the biological state at a certain point in life or a biomarker that …

From telomeres and senescence to integrated longevity medicine: redefining the path to extended healthspan.
Boccardi V. Boccardi V. Biogerontology. 2025 May 5;26(3):107. doi: 10.1007/s10522-025-10246-7. Biogerontology. 2025. PMID: 40323481 Review.
While medical advancements have extended lifespan, healthspan remains constrained by cellular senescence, telomere attrition, and systemic inflammation-core hallmarks of biological aging. However, emerging evidence suggests that telomere dynamic is not inevitable bu …

Telomeres and their role in aging and longevity.
Tzanetakou IP, Nzietchueng R, Perrea DN, Benetos A. Tzanetakou IP, et al. Curr Vasc Pharmacol. 2014;12(5):726-34. doi: 10.2174/1570161111666131219112946. Curr Vasc Pharmacol. 2014. PMID: 24350925 Review.
During the recent decade, research around telomere biology has rapidly expanded due to its dynamic involvement in aging and longevity. ...We review the current evidence linking telomere biology to aging processes and mechanisms leading to longevity....

Telomeres in Space.
Aviv A, Verhulst S. Aviv A, et al. Aging Cell. 2025 Mar;24(3):e70030. doi: 10.1111/acel.70030. Epub 2025 Mar 1. Aging Cell. 2025. PMID: 40022541 Free PMC article.
Recent studies have reported that the spaceflight environment lengthens leukocyte telomeres. We propose that this baffling finding reflects changes in the composition of leukocyte subsets rather than an actual increase in telomere length within individual leukocytes …

The longevity gender gap: are telomeres the explanation?
Aviv A, Shay J, Christensen K, Wright W. Aviv A, et al. Sci Aging Knowledge Environ. 2005 Jun 8;2005(23):pe16. doi: 10.1126/sageke.2005.23.pe16. Sci Aging Knowledge Environ. 2005. PMID: 15944464 Review.
In this Perspective, we focus on the greater longevity of women as compared with men. We propose that, like aging itself, the longevity gender gap is exceedingly complex and argue that it may arise from sex-related hormonal differences and from somatic cell selectio …

Telomeres and longevity.
Monaghan P. Monaghan P. Aging (Albany NY). 2012 Feb;4(2):76-7. doi: 10.18632/aging.100437. Aging (Albany NY). 2012. PMID: 22361470 Free PMC article. No abstract available.
Accelerated telomere shortening in response to life stress.
Epel ES, Blackburn EH, Lin J, Dhabhar FS, Adler NE, Morrow JD, Cawthon RM. Epel ES, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2004 Dec 7;101(49):17312-5. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0407162101. Epub 2004 Dec 1. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2004. PMID: 15574496 Free PMC article.
Here we provide evidence that psychological stress--both perceived stress and chronicity of stress--is significantly associated with higher oxidative stress, lower telomerase activity, and shorter telomere length, which are known determinants of cell senescence and long …

A Natural Astragalus-Based Nutritional Supplement Lengthens Telomeres in a Middle-Aged Population: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study.
de Jaeger C, Kruiskamp S, Voronska E, Lamberti C, Baramki H, Beaudeux JL, Cherin P. de Jaeger C, et al. Nutrients. 2024 Sep 3;16(17):2963. doi: 10.3390/nu16172963. Nutrients. 2024. PMID: 39275278 Free PMC article. Clinical Trial.
Telomeres are ribonucleoprotein structures that form a protective buffer at the ends of chromosomes, maintaining genomic integrity during the cell cycle. A decrease in average telomere length is associated with with age and with aging-related diseases such as cancer …
