摘要
The analysis of mice deficient in telomerase activity has allowed to directly test the relevance of telomeres and telomerase in tumor development and aging in the context of a mammalian organism. More recently, mice with impaired telomere capping due to abrogation of telomere-binding proteins have been also characterized. Here, I will discuss these studies, as well as their implications for putative therapies based of telomerase inhibition of telomerase re-introduction for cancer or age-related diseases, respectively.
