Loss of Growth Differentiation Factor 11 Shortens Telomere Length by Downregulating Telomerase Activity

Maintenance of telomere length is essential to delay replicative cellular senescence. It is controversial on whether growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) can reverse cellular senescence, and this work aims to establish the causality between GDF11 and the telomere maintenance unequivocally. Using...
