โฆ Synopsis
NT cells to measure simultaneously the promoter activities as well as transfection efficiency. The promoter activities and transfection efficiency were successfully determined by measuring the activities of P. pyralis and R. reniformis luciferases, respectively, using the dual-luciferase reporter assay system. Therefore, significant time and cost can be saved using this novel reporter vector in both basic and applied transfection studies.

## Background: Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that extends telomere specific repeats on the ends of chromosomes. telomerase activity has been detected frequently in various types of human tumors and has been associated with cell immortality and oncogenesis. human telomerase reverse transc
The human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene is transcriptionally inactivated in most differentiated cells but is reactivated in the majority of cancer cells. To elucidate how TERT is inactivated during differentiation, we applied all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to induce the differentiatio
