## Abstract Aberrant epigenetic regulation of gene expression contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Studies from a plethora of hematologic and solid tumors support the use of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) as potent anticancer agents. The mechanism(s) of HDACiβinduced cancer grow
Telomeres, the termini of chromosomes, provide essential stability to linear eukaryotic chromosomes. The enzyme telomerase is one mechanism that maintains telomeres, and is activated in 85% of human cancer cells. New studies on peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) that inhibit telomerase have demonstrated t
