Mitochondrial localisation of hTERT protects against nuclear DNA damage and mitochondrial ROS production after endogenous and exogenous stress

Under oxidative stress condition, telomerase catalytic subunit can shuttle from the nucleus and localises within mitochondria. hTERT can improve mitochondrial functions and contribute to a decreased oxidative stress suggesting an entirely new function of telomerase in protecting mitochondria and cel...
