Nanotechnology can manipulate telomeres
Is it true that Nanotechnology can manipulate telomeres?
Yes. Emerging nanotechnology approaches, such as targeted carbon nanotubes and lipid nanoparticles delivering mRNA, can successfully manipulate telomerase expression and telomere length.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved literature includes direct empirical evidence showing that nanotechnology platforms (such as functionalized carbon nanotubes and lipid nanoparticles loaded with TERT mRNA) can successfully target and manipulate telomerase activity and telomere length both in vitro and in vivo.
