Expanding the chemotherapeutic potential of an established nucleoside analog with selective targeting of telomerase

The identification of telomerase-mediated telomeric misincorporation of 5-fluoro-2ʹ-deoxyuridine (5-FdU) uncovered a unique approach to telomeric-based therapeutics. Additionally, identification of such a mechanism supports the utility of telomere maintenance mechanisms in guiding therapeutic decisi...
