Abstract excerpt
The telomerase enzyme plays a critical role in human aging and cancer biology by maintaining telomere length and extending the proliferative lifespan of most stem cells and cancer cells. Despite the importance of this enzyme, our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate its activity and establish telomere length homeostasis in mammalian cells is incomplete, in part because the perfect repetitive nature of...
