Oxidative stress shortens telomeres.
- T. von Zglinicki
- Medicine
- Trends in biochemical sciences
- 2002
Telomeres in most human cells shorten with each round of DNA replication, because they lack the enzyme telomerase. This is not, however, the only determinant of the rate of loss of telomeric DNA.… Expand
Feedback between p21 and reactive oxygen production is necessary for cell senescence
- J. Passos, Glyn Nelson, +11 authors T. von Zglinicki
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular systems biology
- 16 February 2010
Cellular senescence—the permanent arrest of cycling in normally proliferating cells such as fibroblasts—contributes both to age‐related loss of mammalian tissue homeostasis and acts as a tumour… Expand
Fat tissue, aging, and cellular senescence
- T. Tchkonia, D. Morbeck, +6 authors J. Kirkland
- Biology, Medicine
- Aging cell
- 1 October 2010
Fat tissue, frequently the largest organ in humans, is at the nexus of mechanisms involved in longevity and age‐related metabolic dysfunction. Fat distribution and function change dramatically… Expand
Chronic inflammation induces telomere dysfunction and accelerates ageing in mice
- D. Jurk, C. Wilson, +15 authors T. von Zglinicki
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 24 June 2014
Chronic inflammation is associated with normal and pathological ageing. Here we show that chronic, progressive low-grade inflammation induced by knockout of the nfkb1 subunit of the transcription… Expand
A senescent cell bystander effect: senescence-induced senescence
- G. Nelson, James Wordsworth, +4 authors T. von Zglinicki
- Biology, Medicine
- Aging cell
- 1 April 2012
Senescent cells produce and secrete various bioactive molecules including interleukins, growth factors, matrix‐degrading enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, it has been proposed that… Expand
Health and disease in 85 year olds: baseline findings from the Newcastle 85+ cohort study
- J. Collerton, K. Davies, +8 authors T. Kirkwood
- Medicine
- BMJ : British Medical Journal
- 22 December 2009
Objectives The Newcastle 85+ Study aims to systematically study the clinical, biological, and psychosocial attributes of an unselected cohort of 85 year olds and to examine subsequent health… Expand
Mitochondrial Dysfunction Accounts for the Stochastic Heterogeneity in Telomere-Dependent Senescence
- J. Passos, G. Saretzki, +10 authors T. von Zglinicki
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS biology
- 1 May 2007
Aging is an inherently stochastic process, and its hallmark is heterogeneity between organisms, cell types, and clonal populations, even in identical environments. The replicative lifespan of primary… Expand
Mild hyperoxia shortens telomeres and inhibits proliferation of fibroblasts: a model for senescence?
- T. von Zglinicki, G. Saretzki, W. Döcke, C. Lotze
- Biology, Medicine
- Experimental cell research
- 1 September 1995
Mild oxidative stress as exerted by culture of human WI-38 fibroblasts under 40% oxygen partial pressure blocks proliferation irreversibly after one to three population doublings. Hyperoxically… Expand
Mitochondria are required for pro‐ageing features of the senescent phenotype
- C. Correia-Melo, Francisco DM Marques, +25 authors J. Passos
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 4 February 2016
Cell senescence is an important tumour suppressor mechanism and driver of ageing. Both functions are dependent on the development of the senescent phenotype, which involves an overproduction of… Expand
Postmitotic neurons develop a p21-dependent senescence-like phenotype driven by a DNA damage response
- D. Jurk, C. Wang, +8 authors T. von Zglinicki
- Biology, Medicine
- Aging cell
- 1 December 2012
In senescent cells, a DNA damage response drives not only irreversible loss of replicative capacity but also production and secretion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and bioactive peptides including… Expand
