Intramural scientists at the NIA have shown that under certain circumstances, telomerase can block specific apoptotic pathways and in tissue culture can decrease vulnerability to cell death induced by beta-amyloid (Zhu et al., 2000). It remains to be seen whether this also works in the brain. (references) | ||
