P66SHC deletion improves fertility and progeric phenotype of late‐generation TERC‐deficient mice but not their short lifespan

Oxidative stress and telomere attrition are considered the driving factors of aging. As oxidative damage to telomeric DNA favors the erosion of chromosome ends and, in turn, telomere shortening increases the sensitivity to pro‐oxidants, these two factors may trigger a detrimental vicious cycle. To c...
