Telomere Elongating EnzymesThe telomerase enzyme was first discovered by Dr. Harley and colleagues in 1999. Since then, it has been demonstrated that its use in cell cultures lead to aged cell rejuvenation and caused them to live thousands of times beyond their normal replicative limits. Telomere elongating enzymes were once thought to be too large and insensitive to deliver in a gene therapy. However, there are now treatments under development from Telomolecular Nanotechnologies Inc, to successfully deliver the enzymes to the cells of living organisms in a large molecule drug.
