Abstract excerpt
Telomeres cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes to maintain genomic stability and integrity during an organism's lifespan. The length of telomeres inevitably shortens due to DNA replication, genotoxic agents, and biological aging. A limited number of cell types, e.g., stem cells, germline cells, and early embryos can elongate shortened telomeres via the enzymatic action of telomerase, which is composed of...
