Telomerase regulation and stem cell behaviour
Abstract
Telomerase expression is restricted to a few cell types of the adult organism, most notably germ cells and stem/progenitor cells. Telomerase activity in germ cells is sufficient to prevent telomere shortening with age. Stem cells, however, do not have sufficient telomerase to prevent telomere shortening associated with continuous tissue renewal with increasing age. Indeed, telomerase levels in the adult organism are thought to be rate-limiting for longevity. This is supported by rare human syndromes caused by mutations in telomerase components, which are characterized by premature loss of tissue renewal and premature death. More recently, the role of telomerase and telomere length in stem cells is starting to be elucidated.

During each cell cycle, telomerase activity seems to be concentrated primarily to telomeric ends whose length reaches a critically short length (telomeric prioritization).
“during each cell cycle, TA seems to be concentrated primarily to these telomeric ends whose length reaches a critically short length (telomeric prioritization) [22,189].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
