Fanning the flames of tumor growth: Enzyme responsible for protecting chromosome ends stimulates tumorigenesis
Chromosomes are capped by long, repetitive DNA sequences called telomeres. These caps prevent genomic damage by insulating against the steady shortening of DNA ends that naturally accompanies replication. ...
