The original theories are NOT based on mouse cell experiments. Cells from many organisms have been studied, including human cancer cells. In any case, I'm not claiming the knock-out mice results are irrelevant. Just that Geron scientists believe the mouse is not a good model for the way telomerase acts in humans. If you want to read more about this issue, here's a reference for you to check out: Kipling, D. "Telomere structure and telomerase expression during mouse development and tumorigenesis", European Journal of Cancer, 1997, 33, 792-800. This issue of the European Journal of Cancer is devoted to telomere/telomerase research and has a number of informative articles.
