Telomere shortening in late‐life depression: A potential marker of depression severity

Abstract Objectives Telomeres are structures at the extremity of chromosomes that prevents genomic instability, and its shortening seems to be a hallmark of cellular aging. Past studies have shown contradictory results of telomere length (TL) in major depression, and are a few studies in late‐life d...
