Background and Objectives: Activation of telomerase and stabilization of telomeres are considered necessary for immortalization of tumor cells. Telomerase activity was analyzed in 69 hepatocellular carcinomas and adjacent chronic liver disease tissues. The telomerase activity level was examined in r
## 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
Telomerase activity has been examined extensively in a variety of human cancerous and noncancerous tissues. However, it was sometimes difficult to measure telomerase activity quantitatively with the methods used and in the tissues examined. We examined telomerase activity quantitatively in gastroint
## Abstract Chromosome ends, or telomeres, are maintained by telomerase. Work in selected vertebrates has implied that telomerase is often repressed in differentiated cells, and telomere erosion results in senescence of cultured cells. Tissues from mature __Xenopus laevis__ frogs were examined for
## 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
