Human Telomerase Shows Selective Cross-Species Activity, Revealing Limits of Animal Models
BUFFALO, NY — May 5, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on April 13, 2026, titled “Cross species activity of TERT human telomerase component.” The study was led by co–first authors Raúl Sánchez-Vázquez and Paula Martínez, with María A. Blasco serving as corresponding author, from the Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO), Madrid, Spain. In this study, the researchers explored a key question in aging and regenerative medicine: can the human telomerase protein function effectively in other species commonly used in preclinical research? Telomerase plays a…
