Telomerase gene therapy rescues telomere length, bone marrow aplasia, and survival in mice with aplastic anemia
22 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Aplastic anemia is a fatal bone marrow disorder characterized by peripheral pancytopenia and marrow hypoplasia. The disease can be hereditary or acquired and develops at any stage of life. A subgroup of the inherited form is caused by replicative impairment of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells due to very short telomeres as a result of mutations in telomerase and other telomere components. Abnormal telomere...
