Telomerase therapy attenuates cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin
31 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Doxorubicin is one of the most potent chemotherapeutic agents. However, its clinical use is restricted due to the severe risk of cardiotoxicity, partially attributed to elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Telomerase canonically maintains telomeres during cell division but is silenced in adult hearts. In non-dividing cells such as cardiomyocytes, telomerase confers pro-survival traits, likely...
