Telomerase and p53 play critical roles in tumorigenesis and senescence. The mutation of p53 gene and the reactivation of telomerase have been found in most of the human tumors. Aiming telomerase and p53 genes have become important strategies in tumor therapy. We reviewed the aging and tumor phenotype in different status of telomerase and p53 (mTR/p53+/+; mTR/P53/), which indicated that telomere dysfunction could...
