1 Introduction Telomeres are non-coding DNA fragments at the ends of chromosomes that protect the genome from degradation and act as a natural “biological clock”, as they shorten after each cell division, ultimately leading to cell senescence. Natural telomere shortening is partially compensated by the enzymatic telomerase complex, although the expression of telomerase-related genes is highly variable in different organs and cell types (1).
