Exposing human cells to telomerase slows cell aging and allows cells to begin copying again ---- In [[glioma]]s, [[TERT]] expression and TERT promoter mutation are considered to reliably indicate [[telomerase activation]], while [[ATRX]] mutation and/or loss indicates an [[alternative lengthening of telomeres]] (ALT). However, these relationships have not been extensively validated in tumor tissues. telomerase_activation.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:54by 127.0.0.1
