Interestingness: 2
By Tim H Brümmendorf, Peter M Lansdorp and Nathalie Rufer, in the Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 4, 2000 (pp 397-409, doi:10.1089/rej.1.2000.3.397.)
This seems to be a double-length episode of the previous paper, relating how telomere lengths change in blood cells across time and diseases. One thing it clarified was that they thought the shortening of telomeres in bone marrow donor recipients was due to the repopulation of the bone marrow stem cells from the few donor cells. Also, they kept on a theme that the telomere lengths of most blood cells are merely reflecting the lengths in the haematopoietic stem cells (HSC aka bone marrow stem cells) which produced them.
