DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2017-4881
Abstract: Background. Telomere maintenance is a major cancer hallmark and has recently attracted attention as an oncogenic mechanism in the pediatric malignancy, neuroblastoma (NBL), due to detection of frequent structural rearrangements near the telomerase (TERT) gene.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2020-5821
Abstract: Malignant tumor cells overcome the restriction of progressive telomere shortening by employing telomere maintenance mechanisms (TMMs) to achieve replicative immortality. Over 80% of human cancers maintain telomere length using the enzyme telomerase, which uses an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.119.302606
Abstract: A subset of cancers rely on telomerase-independent mechanisms to maintain their chromosome ends. The predominant “alternative lengthening of telomeres” pathway appears dependent on homology-directed repair (HDR) to maintain telomeric DNA. However, the molecular changes needed… read more here.
