Short telomeres in hatchling snakes: erythrocyte telomere dynamics and longevity in tropical pythons.
<h4>Background</h4>Telomere length (TL) has been found to be associated with life span in birds and humans. However, other studies have demonstrated that TL does not affect survival among old humans. Furthermore, replicative senescence has been shown to be induced by changes in the prote...
