Maternal infection of SARS-CoV-2 during the first and second trimesters leads to newborn telomere shortening

Maternal infection of SARS-CoV-2 during the first and second trimesters leads to newborn telomere shortening

Abstract Background Initial telomere length (TL) in newborns is the major determinant for TL in later life while TL in newborn/early-life predicts long-term health and lifespan. It is important to identify key factors that affect telomere homeostasis throughout embryonic development for precision in...
