  1. 1. Methodological development of human telomere sequencing with the Oxford Nanopore Technologies

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Jennifer Arnqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human DNA is protected with telomeres, which consist of the repetitive DNA-sequence TTAGGG. A 3’-overhang folds back and in combination with the shelterin complex protects the ends of the DNA. READ MORE

  2. 2. Role of PARN gene in telomere maintenance in a zebrafish model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Spandana Tharanath Kotian; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The telomeres are highly conserved repetitive DNA sequence elements present at the ends of linear chromosome. These structures function as a biological clock of the cell since telomeres become shorter with each replication cycle and finally reach a critical threshold in their length after which the cell enters senescence.

  3. 3. The effects of muscle damaging electrically stimulated contractions and ibuprofen on muscle regeneration and telomere lengths in healthy sedentary males

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskap och medicin

    Author : Mathias Ekstrand; [2011]
    Keywords : telomeres; NSAIDs; muscle regeneration; muscle damage; electrical stimulation;

    Abstract : Introduction: The effect of electrical stimulation on muscle degeneration and regeneration is largely unknown and it has not been studied in conjunction with telomeres. The consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is widespread in athletes and the general population when faced with muscle soreness or injury. READ MORE
