Modification of the telomerase gene with human regulatory sequences resets mouse telomeres to human length

Abstract Telomeres shorten with each cell division, serving as biomarkers of aging, with human tissues exhibiting short telomeres and restricted telomerase expression. In contrast, mice have longer telomeres and widespread telomerase activity, limiting their relevance as models for human telomere bi...
