The effect of chemotherapy on telomere dynamics: clinical results and possible mechanisms
15 Dec 2012

Telomeres are the chromosomal end components, and their length in hematopoietic stem cells correlates with the bone marrow proliferative reserve. There are few data regarding telomere dynamics in hematopoietic stem cells after exposure to chemotherapy.
