Telomere dysfunction provides new biomarkers of aging
It would be nice to have access to a biological measurement (or series of measurements) that allowed us to determine an individual’s age. Until we have such a tool, questions like “how rapidly is this individual aging?” are meaningless. A new study identifies a new class of biomarkers: proteins produced by cells with shortened telomeres.
