Investigating the frequency of senescent T lymphocytes with ageing, exercise and obesity (2008)
Thesis
Cosgrove, C. Investigating the frequency of senescent T lymphocytes with ageing, exercise and obesity. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2491

Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell cycle arrest in which a cell is unable to further divide in response to normal growth stimuli. Telomere shortening, believed to be a mechanism of cellular senescence, is a result of numerous rounds of...

BACKGROUND: Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) and elafin are anti-protease and anti-microbial molecules with a role in innate immune defence. They have been demonstrated at multiple mucosal surfaces including those of the female reproduct...
