Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activity is detected in more than 90% of examined tumors but not in most normal somatic cells. Among three subunits of human telomerase, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is the rate-limiting component for telomerase activity. Therefore, targeting hTERT represents a promising approach for diminishing telomerase function that will probably not cause substantial side effects on telomerase...
