Telomere biology and telomerase mutations in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Telomere biology and telomerase mutations in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at linear chromosome termini, protecting chromosomes against end-to-end fusion and damage, providing chromosomal stability. Telomeres shorten with mitotic cellular division, but are maintained in cells with high proliferative capacity by telomerase. Loss-of-fun...
