## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activity has been observed in 80 -90% of carcinomas derived from various organs. However, to the authors' knowledge this report is the first assessment of telomerase activity in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). ## METHODS. Telomerase activity was analyzed by th
of its RNA component (hTR) during the multistage pathogenesis of cervical carcinomas, and correlated activation with histopathologic findings and human papillo-
Telomerase activity has been found in a variety of malignant tumors but only rarely in benign tumors or normal tissues. In this study, we investigated telomerase activation in 37 ovarian tumors, including benign, borderline and malignant neoplasms. Telomerase activity was detected using the telomeri
## Abstract Ribozyme possesses specific endoribonuclease activity and catalyzes the hydrolysis of specific phosphodiester bonds, which results in the cleavage of target RNA sequences. Here, we evaluated the ability of hammerhead ribozymes targeting human telomerase RNA (hTR) to inhibit the catalyti
