Telomere crisis, the driving force in cancer cell evolution.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 3 Jan 1997

Ishikawa F

Abstract excerpt

Cancer cells show characteristic telomere dynamics. Their chromosomes usually have short telomeres and a high telomerase activity. The "telomere crisis model" proposed here suggests that these unique telomeric features are responsible for the progression of cancer.
