TELOMERIC PROFILE IN B LYMPHOCYTES FROM THE PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Abstract. Shortening of telomeres represents an important mechanism that limits the proliferative potential of cells. Telomeres are chromatin structures that perform capping and protection of the chromosome ends. In vertebrates, they consist of tandem hexameric repeated sequences (TTAGGG) that are a...

Shortening of telomeres represents an important mechanism that limits the proliferative potential of cells. Telomeres are chromatin structures that perform capping and protection of the chromosome ends.
