SHORTER TELOMERE LENGTH IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER LEVELS OF CIRCULATING PROGENITOR CELLS

2016

Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) is a biological marker of aging which has been associated with decreased survival. Bone marrow-derived circulating progenitor cells (CPC) are involved in vascular repair and regeneration, and reduced CPC counts are associated with poor outcomes. We sought to determine
