Telomere Dynamics in Keloids

Objective: Little is known about telomere dynamics in keloids. As keloid formation is dependent on cell replication, in theory telomeres should be shorter in keloids than in normal skin. We examined this concept in the present study. Methods: We measured by Southern blot analysis telomere length in...
