Growing old, yet staying young: the role of telomeres in bat's exceptional long...
Foley, Nicole M.; Hughes, Graham M.; Huang, Zixia; Clarke, Michael; Jebb, David; Whelan, Conor V.; Petit, Eric J.; Touzalin, Frédéric; Farcy, OlivierUnderstanding aging is a grand challenge in biology. Exceptionally long-lived animals have mechanisms that underpin extreme longevity. Telomeres are protective nucleotide repeats on chromosome tips that shorten with cell division, potentially limiting life span. Bats are the longest-lived mammals for their size, but it is unknown whether their telomeres shorten. Using >60 years of cumulative mark-recapture fiel...
