Validation of Minimally-Invasive Sample Collection Methods for Measurement of Telomere Length

Validation of Minimally-Invasive Sample Collection Methods for Measurement of Telomere Length

Objective: The discovery of telomere length (TL) as a biomarker of cellular aging and correlate of age-related disease has generated a new field of research in the biology of healthy aging. Although the most common method of sample collection for TL is venous blood draw, less-invasive DNA collection...
