Telomerase Accelerates Osteogenesis of Bone Marrow Stromal Stem Cells by Upregulation of CBFA1, Osterix, and Osteocalcin
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activity can prevent telomere shortening and replicative senescence in human somatic cells. We and others have previously demonstrated that forced expression of telomerase in human bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSSCs) was able to extend their life-span and enhance their bone-forming capability, without inducing malignant transformation. In this study, we determined that telomerase was able to...
