Techniques to measure telomere length
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
Accurately measuring telomere length is essential for diagnosing telomere biology disorders, researching how telomeres affect health span and aging, and their links to cancer. RepeatDx specializes in Flow FISH, which can measure the telomeres in many different blood cell types at the same time. This is part of a short series of videos where we explore telomeres, telomere length and telomerase, ...
How telomere length impacts cancer risk
Переглядів 11 тис.2 роки тому
People with either very short or very long telomeres are at increased risk of developing cancer - this is called the Telomere Length Paradox. Telomeres can act as a defense mechanism to prevent tumor growth by stopping cell division when they are too short, however, this mechanism is not perfect. This is part of a short series of videos where we explore telomeres, telomere length and telomerase...
Telomere Biology Disorders explained
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
Telomere Biology Disorders (TBDs) are also known as Short Telomere Syndromes or telomeropathies. They are characterized by genetic deficits affecting telomere maintenance and by the presence of very short telomeres. Research in this field helps improve diagnosis and treatment for people with TBDs. This is part of a short series of videos where we explore telomeres, telomere length and telomeras...
The links between telomerase and aging
Переглядів 44 тис.2 роки тому
Telomerase helps maintain telomere length in our cells, influences how our bodies age, and why we develop diseases like cancer. If cells had enough telomerase, telomeres might not shorten at all. But in most somatic cells, it’s present in very low amounts - only enough to slow the telomere shortening down. This is part of a short series of videos where we explore telomeres, telomere length and ...
How telomere shortening affects aging
Переглядів 24 тис.2 роки тому
It’s believed that telomeres play a role in aging. When telomeres become too short, it triggers our body’s DNA damage response, signaling our cells to undergo senescence or apoptosis (cell death). Telomeres shorten with each cell division because of the structure of DNA itself, called the ‘end replication problem’. This is part of a short series of videos where we explore telomeres, telomere le...
What are telomeres and how do they protect our cells?
Переглядів 27 тис.2 роки тому
What are telomeres? Telomeres are protective caps, found at the ends of our chromosomes. They’re thought to play a major role in aging by limiting the number of times most of the cells in our body can divide. They help protect our genome and defend our bodies from developing cancer. This is the first in a short series of videos where we explore telomeres, telomere length and telomerase, as well...
New subscriber here. I appreciate your work.
Thanks and welcome
such a nice and informative video!!!!
Glad you liked it!
How about from the UK? 48 hours not enough. Or UK is out of reach for RepeatDx.
Thank you for your question. We do regularly receive samples from the UK; certain precautions with regards to shipping logistics and draw timing may be helpful to ensure optimal sample quality - please do contact us via email with your specific location and we will do our best to help find a solution.
Nice explanation 🙏 thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
Absolutely the best quality video you could ask for. Thank you very much! :D However, I would be even happier to see longer deep dive videos, of course. lol ;)
Thanks - glad it was helpful!
What is the relation between telomeres shortening, immuno dysfunction and COVID-19????
Thank you for your comment - it’s a good question. The loss of telomeres with age is most pronounced in cells of the immune system. As a result, immune responses in the elderly, including those against the COVID virus, are increasingly compromised. This paper may be of interest: Lansdorp, P,M. Telomeres, aging, and cancer: the big picture. Blood 2022; 139 (6): 813-821. doi.org/10.1182/blood.2021014299
Thank you very much for these great videos!❤
Glad you like them!
i love this channel ❤️
Thank you!
My wife was diagnosed with short telomere syndrome. I appreciate any information on this subject. And any advancements in the study.
Really great representation... Keep teaching ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you for existing... ❤️
Wow, thank you
Thanks for this video! I was pretty confused about telmerase.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
These views are very little for this excellent work and explanation, thank u cuz i learned finally the meaning of this concept because of you guys :)
Glad it was helpful!
very helpful visualization
Thanks - glad it's helpful!
