Catastrophic Endgames: Emerging Mechanisms of Telomere-Driven Genomic Instability.

Abstract excerpt

When cells progress to malignancy, they must overcome a final telomere-mediated proliferative lifespan barrier called replicative crisis. Crisis is characterized by extensive telomere fusion that drives widespread genomic instability, mitotic arrest, hyperactivation of autophagy, and cell death. Recently, it has become apparent that that the resolution of dicentric chromosomes, which arise from telomere fusions...
