Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene, which codes for the catalytic subunit of telomerase is considered an important tumor marker used for bladder cancer detection being found in the majority of cancer cells. Scatter Factor (SF) is a secretory protein produced by fibroblasts and smooth muscles and induces scattering of the epithelial cells. The aim of the current study...
