Telomeres, which are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, play a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability. As cells divide, telomeres tend to shorten, reflecting cellular aging. This process has been linked to various age-related conditions and diseases. At CD BioSciences, we are dedicated to providing advanced analysis services to unravel the intricate relationship between telomere length and aging factors.

Animal Models of Aging That We Support for Research
CD BioSciences is committed to supporting research on aging through our comprehensive analysis services using various animal models. These models can provide valuable insights into the aging process and the role of telomeres in age-related conditions. Our support includes but is not limited to:
- Rodent models
Our company provides analysis services for telomere length in rodent models, specifically mice and rats. These models are commonly used in aging research due to their shorter lifespans and the ability to manipulate telomere length to study its impact on aging.
- Primate models
We support analysis services for telomere length in primate models, including non-human primates. Primate models closely mimic human physiology and are crucial in understanding the role of telomeres in the aging process.
- Nematode models
We offer nematode models, specifically the Caenorhabditis elegans species, for analyzing the correlation between telomere length and aging factors. The complete genomic sequence of C. elegans is known, making it easier to study particular genes and regulatory pathways related to telomere maintenance and aging.
Our Analysis Services of the Relationship Between Telomere Length and Aging Factors
- Unveiling the relationship between telomere length and age
CD BioSciences offers quantitative telomere length measurement to study the relationship between telomeres and aging. We collect samples from distinct age groups, such as young, middle-aged, and elderly sample cohorts, followed by telomere length analysis. We perform statistical analysis to correlate telomere length with age within the different groups. Longitudinal analysis is also available to track changes in telomere length over time, providing insights into telomere attrition and its association with aging.
- Uncovering the relationship between telomere length and sex
Our analysis services encompass studies on the relationship between telomere length and sex in aging. By examining telomere length in different sample groups, researchers can explore correlations between sex and telomere length, shedding light on potential differences in the aging process between genders.
- Analyzing the relationship between telomere length and health risk factors
We set experimental groups comprising cohorts with different lifestyle habits, such as smokers versus non-smokers, and biosamples with varied dietary patterns. We conduct correlation analyses to determine how telomere length correlates with different lifestyle factors. Our analysis services enable researchers to investigate the impact of lifestyle factors on telomere length and their association with age-related health risks. We aim to contribute valuable data and insights to epidemiological research on aging and age-related diseases.
