Telomere Attrition Occurs during Ex Vivo Expansion of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells
Figure 7
Plot of average telomere length (relative T/S) against passage number and doubling time versus T/S. (a) Relative telomere length expressed as ratio of T/S by quantitative real-time PCR analysis shows a decrease in T/S with increasing passage numbers. (b) Plot of doubling time in hours against relative telomere length (T/S) and regression line. The correlation coefficients of the linear regression line best fitting the data are shown. Filled circles indicate males ( individuals) and open circles indicate females ().
