The implication was that if biologists could use telomerase to offset the shortening of telomeres when normal cells divide, perhaps aging could be halted or at least substantially delayed.
Kidokezo kilikuwa kwamba ikiwa wanabiolojia wangeweza kutumia telomerase ili kukomesha kufupishwa kwa telomere wakati seli za kawaida zinagawanyika, labda kuzeeka kungeweza kusimamishwa au angalau kucheleweshwa sana.
