Researchers investigate treatment of renal fibrosis by showing that it is caused by telomere shortening
Aging is a common factor in many diseases. So, what if it were possible to treat them by acting on the causes of aging or, more specifically, by acting on the shortening of telomeres, the structures that protect chromosomes? ...
