Understanding and exploiting <i>hTERT</i> promoter regulation for diagnosis and treatment of human cancers
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activation is a critical step for human carcinogenesis through the maintenance of telomeres, but the activation mechanism during carcinogenesis remains unclear. Transcriptional regulation of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene is the major mechanism for cancer-specific activation of telomerase, and a number of factors have been identified to directly or indirectly regulate the hTERT...
