Telomere Length Linked to Genomic Alterations in 31 Cancers

Jan 30, 2017

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Cancer cells use a variety of mechanisms to survive cellular crisis, including through telomere maintenance processes. By activating telomerase, cancer cells can counteract telomere shortening, and therefore avoid tumor-suppressing senescence and crisis.
