The Telomerase Activator TA-65 Protects from Cigarette Smoke-Induced Small Airway Remodeling in Mice through Extra-Telomeric Effects

Researchers identified a potential protective role of TA-65, a pharmacological telomerase activator, in a cigarette smoke model of small airway remodeling in mice, and further studied if extra-telomeric effects of telomerase, involving oxidative stress modulation, could explain it.
