A systematic review of leukocyte telomere length and age in adults.

TLDR
While a decrease of LTL with age is out of question, data on variation of the decrease according to sex, age and other potential determinants especially from longitudinal data are still sparse.

Age and metabolic risk factors associated with oxidatively damaged DNA in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

TL;DR: Positive associations between age and levels of oxidatively damaged DNA appeared mediated by age-related increases in metabolic risk factors.

Effects of maternal exposure to ambient air pollution on newborn telomere length.

TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal exposures to PM2.5, PM10, CO, and SO2 during the third trimester were related to shorter newborn TL, which highlights the importance of improving air quality in favor of subsequent health in later life of newborns.

Obesity, weight loss, and influence on telomere length: New insights for personalized nutrition

TL;DR: The relationship between obesity and TL is shown in addition to the possible risk factors for its shortening and how the different strategies for weight loss can modulate TL is considered, showing that TL may be used as a biomarker of responses to obesity treatment.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method

TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

Meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology - A proposal for reporting

TL;DR: A checklist contains specifications for reporting of meta-analyses of observational studies in epidemiology, including background, search strategy, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion should improve the usefulness ofMeta-an analyses for authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and decision makers.

Relative expression software tool (REST©) for group-wise comparison and statistical analysis of relative expression results in real-time PCR

TL;DR: Development and application of REST is explained, the usefulness of relative expression in real-time PCR using REST is discussed and the mathematical model used is based on the PCR efficiencies and the mean crossing point deviation between the sample and control group.

Telomeres shorten during ageing of human fibroblasts.

TL;DR: The amount and length of telomeric DNA in human fibroblasts does in fact decrease as a function of serial passage during ageing in vitro and possibly in vivo.
