The therapy lengthened telomeres and improved immune function in people with telomere biology disorder, showing promise for treating bone marrow failure safely.
Scientists found evidence of telomeres in the 1930s, but did not identify them until the 1970s. Since then, researchers’ understanding of telomeres and their role in DNA repair, aging, and disease has expanded exponentially.
Explore how emerging in vitro systems — built from primary cells, cocultures, and vascularized tissues — are improving translational research outcomes.
