August 2005 in “Nature” The study demonstrated that conditional induction of TERT in mouse skin epithelium led to the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells and a transition from the resting phase to the active phase of the hair follicle cycle, resulting in robust hair growth. This effect was achieved through a novel mechanism independent of telomere synthesis, as it did not require the telomerase RNA component (TERC). The research utilized a transgenic mouse model with a tetracycline-regulated system to control TERT expression, showing that TERT activation in hair follicle epithelium consistently promoted the anagen phase with 100% penetrance in treated mice. The findings suggested that TERT could activate quiescent stem cells in the hair follicle bulge region, highlighting a non-canonical role for TERT beyond its traditional function in telomere maintenance.
