Telomerase gene therapy rescues telomere length, bone marrow aplasia, and survival in mice with aplastic anemia
Open accessAbstract
Key Points: Telomerase gene therapy in a mouse model of aplastic anemia targets the bone marrow and provides increased and stable telomerase expression. Telomerase expression leads to telomere elongation and subsequently to the reversal of aplastic anemia phenotypes.

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.
