Telomere Length as a Marker of Biological Age: State-of-the-Art, Open Issues, and Future Perspectives

Telomere shortening is a well-known hallmark of both cellular senescence and organismal aging. An accelerated rate of telomere attrition is also a common feature of age-related diseases. Therefore, telomere length (TL) has been recognized for a long time as one of the best biomarkers of aging. Recen...
