On Telomolecular
Telomolecular are setting out to raise their profile in the community, judging by the contents of this Yahoo! press release: "Nanocircles (a nanotechnology developed at Stanford University) and vTert (Telomolecular's synthetic enzyme) are capable of repairing damaged and shortened telomeres. Researchers at Telomolecular believe they've found a way to deliver Nanocircles and vTert to chromosomes in living organisms, reversing diseases caused by that damage. The researchers envision the ability, eventually, to speed the healing process in humans, preventing or even curing cancer." The devil is always in the details of implementation; a number of companies and research groups are forging ahead in attempts to establish telomere-based therapies for cancer and other age-related conditions.
