the last paragraph has some stuff:

" In the future, their research in the area of telomerase could uncover valuable information to combat aging, fight cancer, and even improve the quality of medical treatment in other areas such as skin grafts for burn victims, bone marrow transplants, and heart disease. Who knows how far this could go?"

in biology, names are just two smaller pieces joined to-gether

telo= tail
merase = an enzyme (protein)

so, it is an enzyme that acts on the tails

other similar ones
telomer, telophase, telomerization, etc
