摘要
The role that telomere biology may play in the human ageing process is of a significant interest to many laboratories around the world. In this, the first of a series of yearly reviews on telomeres and ageing, I review a small selection of papers published between July 2005 and June 2006 that maybe of direct relevance to the gerontology research community.
