ENGINEERING IMMORTALITY. “In 1998 it was reported that normal, mortal, human cell strains could be immortalized with apparent retention of their normal properties by transfecting them with vectors encoding the human telomerase catalytic subunit. Thus, the replicometer can be purposefully circumvented. This has provided direct evidence proving the role of telomere shortening in cell senescence and telomerase expression in cell immortality.”
