Telomeres: has cancer's Achilles' heel been exposed?
Article Abstract:
Inhibiting the enzyme telomerase may cause cancer regression. Telomerase maintains telomeres, which in turn makes cells immortal. Inhibiting telomerase would cause the loss of telomeres from the ends of chromosomes, which would inhibit cell division.
