Telomerase gene therapies usual deliver telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), which might be thought of as the most important part of the full telomerase complex. Most research has focused on the ability of telomerase to lengthen telomeres, and where overexpression of telomerase is seen to extend life span in animal models, lengthening of telomeres is the mechanism most explored by the research community. However, TERT also acts on mitochondria</a…
