Abstract

Most rare inherited telomere biology disorders and some common aging-related diseases are associated with shortened telomeres. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, insights into one of the rarest genetic causes of these disorders led to the discovery (Nagpal et al., 2020) of small molecules that lengthen telomeres.
