A non-canonical function of zebrafish telomerase reverse transcriptase is required for developmental hematopoiesis.

Although it is clear that telomerase expression is crucial for the maintenance of telomere homeostasis, there is increasing evidence that the TERT protein can have physiological roles that are independent of this central function. To further examine the role of telomerase during vertebrate developme...
