Visualization of Telomere Integrity and Function In Vitro and In Vivo Using Immunofluorescence Techniques
1 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
In cancer cells, telomere length maintenance occurs largely via the direct synthesis of TTAGGG repeats at chromosome ends by telomerase, or less frequently by the recombination-dependent alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. The latter is characterized by the atypical clustering of telomeres within promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies, which harbor proteins that are linked with DNA repair and...
