Telomere Length Modulation in Human Astroglial Brain Tumors
14 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomeres alteration during carcinogenesis and tumor progression has been described in several cancer types. Telomeres length is stabilized by telomerase (h-TERT) and controlled by several proteins that protect telomere integrity, such as the Telomere Repeat-binding Factor (TRF) 1 and 2 and the tankyrase-poli-ADP-ribose polymerase (TANKs-PARP) complex. OBJECTIVE: To investigate telomere dysfunction in...
