I add telomerase info in preamble

Obviously this info should be here; it is main genetical (more like epigenetical, it is not about DNA code as such but about DNA demethylation of C & G which activates this riboprotein) difference between stem cell and other cells. Obviously, this is not enough, I will also add info about gametes being telomerase activated in Telomerase article and we should rework Stem cell article with cites, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZBalling (talk • contribs) 18:57, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
