Abstract excerpt
The maintenance of telomere length is essential for the indefinite proliferation of cancer cells. This is most often achieved by the activation of telomerase; however, a substantial number of cancers lack detectable telomerase activity and are classified as using an alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. We showed recently that ALT cells have a high level of extrachromosomal telomeric circles (t...
