Telomere/telomerase interplay in virus‐driven and virus‐independent lymphomagenesis: pathogenic and clinical implications

Abstract excerpt

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex critically involved in extending and maintaining telomeres. Unlike the majority of somatic cells, in which hTERT and telomerase activity are generally silent, normal lymphocytes show transient physiological hTERT expression and telomerase activity according to their differentiation/activation status. During lymphomagenesis, induction of persistent telomerase expression...
