Any knowledgeable person who's got access to the full paper want to explain the relationship between thymoquinone and the shortening of telemores and other indicators of DNA damage, as discussed in this paper?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/20711342/
Was it just the cancer cells that were affected? Or does thymoquinone damage DNA indiscriminately?

That study is dealing with glioblastoma cells. You want to induce cell death in glioblastoma cells. You can't use the results from that study to assess anything more than what their study design was meant to look at.
