Telomere Fragment Induced Amnion Cell Senescence: A Contributor to Parturition?

Telomere Fragment Induced Amnion Cell Senescence: A Contributor to Parturition?

Oxidative stress (OS)-induced senescence of the amniochorion has been associated with parturition at term. We investigated whether telomere fragments shed into the amniotic fluid (AF) correlated with labor status and tested if exogenous telomere fragments (T-oligos) could induce human and murine amn...
