Popis: How telomere dysfunction is directly linked to inflammation in humans is currently unclear. Here the authors reveal that telomere dysfunction drives activation of the YAP1 transcription factor, up-regulating the pro inflammatory factor, pro-IL-18 thus revealing a link between telomere dysfunction and initiation of intestinal inflammation.
