Telomerase offers the potential opportunity to control cell proliferation by interfering with a totally new and unique biological process which is cell senescence. The aim of this review is to impartially present the state of the art in telomerase with the pros and the cons of the current scientific
Hexokinase plays an important role in glucose-utilizing tissues like normal brain and cancers. In these tissues, hexokinase (HK) is mainly bound to mitochondria (mHK). Our objectives were to evaluate total HK (tHK) activity and mHK fraction in gliomas and to determine whether mHK binding could be ta
## Abstract Malignant gliomas are relatively uncommon but lethal cancers. Despite recent research efforts in cancer therapy, the prognosis of patients with malignant gliomas has remained dismal. Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of glioma may lead to a rational development of new therapies.
