Abstract excerpt
Activation of telomerase is crucial for cells to gain immortality. In human cells, telomerase activity is tightly regulated by the expression of its catalytic subunit, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). In most normal human somatic cells, hTERT is not expressed, and its suppression acts as an important gatekeeper against tumorigenesis. Here we describe the systematic analyses of hTERT promoter to...
