Telomerase key to liver regeneration, Stanford researchers find

A subset of liver cells with high levels of telomerase renews the organ during normal cell turnover and after injury, according to Stanford researchers. The cells may also give rise to liver cancer. Liver stem cells that express high levels of telomerase, a protein often associated with resistance to aging, act in mice to regenerate […]
