METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR EXTENDING TELOMERE LENGTH AND INCREASING CELL LIFESPAN

摘要

Methods of elongating a telomere of a cell, the methods comprising enhancing hTERT expression in the cell and increasing telomerase processivity. Telomerized cells which comprise a cell having a telomere, the telomere being elongated by enhancing hTERT expression in the cell and by increasing the processivity of telomerase in the cell.
