So if ultra-short telomeres are associated with arthritic tissue, then could telomerase help to cure arthritis?

Good question. Something made the telomeres get short, so even if you lengthened the telomeres and rescued the senescent cells, there would still be a problem. However, it sounds like telomere extension could be a way to dial back the disease. It might form part of a multi-pronged approach to treatment.
