What exactly are you interpreting out of this paper now ? How does this invalidate cancer studies in mice?

Most cancer studies in mice are xenografts of human cancer cells so any relevance of mice telomeres is completely lost anyway.

Also this obsession with telomeres being the fundamental key for all our biological problems seems so conspiratorial. Like you think our cells which do unimaginable things can't keep their DNA ends frothy? Like that's what is gonna spell their doom? Or you consider telomeres are just a symptom of a cells longevity decided by other factors ?
