Re-activation of telomerase in a model of premature aging caused by accelerated telomere shortening (duo to telomerase deficiency) was enough to revert some age-associated phenotypes [21113150].
Mice lacking telomerase age more rapedely and died earlier, as an abundance of critically short telomeres developed. Reawakening of Tert, leads to disappearment of age-related symptoms and rejuvenation occurred in several organs including their brains [http://www.isagenixhealth.net/blog/2012/05/16/telomerase-stimulation-extends-lifespan-in-mice/].
