Telomerase activity in normal and malignant mammalian tissues: feasibility of telomerase as a target for cancer chemotherapy.
Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme, has been found in immortalized but not in most somatic adult human tissues, and thus emerged as a novel target for cancer chemotherapy. However, its usefulness could still be limited by normal tissue toxicity. This study compares enzyme activity in tissues and...
