Hormonal regulation of telomerase activity and hTERT expression in steroid-regulated tissues and cancer
Abstract Naturally, in somatic cells chromosome ends (telomeres) shorten during each cell division. This process ensures to limit proliferation of somatic cells to avoid malignant proliferation; however, it leads to proliferative senescence. Telomerase contains the reverse transcriptase TERT, which...
