How does early life adversity shape adult telomere dynamics?

Happy to annouce that our opinion manuscript dissecting out the potential link between early life adversity and adult telomere dynamics is now out in BioEssays

We discuss the main biological routes through which exposure to challenging conditions during development might induce long-lasting changes in the telomeric system, with potential consequences on reproduction and longevity. In this context, we propose three non-mutually exclusive hypotheses – Constraint, Resilience, and Pace of Life – and propose future studies to test them.
