Making a Mouse that Exhibits Human Telomere Dynamics – Fight Aging!

A new study reports on the development of a mouse lineage with a humanized telomerase gene, resulting in more human-like telomere dynamics. This mouse model will be a valuable tool for further research into telomerase gene therapies. The findings suggest that this model could provide insight into human aging and cancer, potentially reducing risks associated with telomerase gene therapy in human patients.
