“…Whether telomere shortening concomitant to TRF2 downregulation in skeletal muscle destabilizes the telomere‐ SIRT3 loop, as observed for other loci (Kim et al, ; Robin, Ludlow, et al, ; Robin et al, ), is an interesting hypothesis. Further, if telomere shortens in human tissues, including skeletal muscle (Daniali et al, ), diminution of TRF2, as already reported through lifetime in animal models (e.g., mice, zebrafish; Wagner et al, ), remains to be established in other human tissues. Noteworthy, recent studies focusing on another postmitotic tissue (e.g., heart) also link telomere length and TRF2 level to metabolic changes (Chang et al, , ; Oh et al, ).…”
