Telomere-mediated chromosomal instability triggers TLR4 induced inflammation and death in mice.

<h4>Background</h4>Telomeres are essential to maintain chromosomal stability. Cells derived from mice lacking telomerase RNA component (mTERC-/- mice) display elevated telomere-mediated chromosome instability. Age-dependent telomere shortening and associated chromosome instability reduce...
