Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres: Building Bridges To Connect Chromosome Ends.
Trends in cancer - 1 Mar 2020
Hoang Song My, O'Sullivan Roderick J
Abstract excerpt
Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a mechanism of telomere maintenance that is observed in many of the most recalcitrant cancer subtypes. Telomeres in ALT cancer cells exhibit a distinctive nucleoprotein architecture shaped by the mismanagement of chromatin that fosters cycles of DNA damage and replicative stress that activate homology-directed repair (HDR). Mutations in specific chromatin-remodeling...
