Abstract excerpt
RNA engineering has yielded a new class of medicines but faces limitations depending on RNA size and function. Here we demonstrate the synthesis and enzymatic stabilization of telomerase RNA component (TERC), a therapeutically relevant long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that extends telomere length and replicative lifespan in human stem cells. Compared with therapeutic mRNAs, engineered TERC RNA (eTERC) depends on...
