Telomerase is an enzyme activity consisting of a reverse transcriptase called TERT and an RNA component that adds repeats of a DNA sequence (TTAGGG) to the ends of chromosomes, thereby preventing their shortening. Associations between telomerase activity and proliferation and differentiation of neur

The expression of two calcium-binding proteins of the parvalbumin (PV) family, the alpha isoform (alphaPV) and the beta isoform known as oncomodulin (OM), was investigated in the rat cochlea during postnatal development and related to cholinergic efferent innervation. Using RT-PCR analysis, we found
Telomerase activity provides a mechanism for the unlimited division potential of neoplastic cells. Induced differentiation of these cells was found to be associated with repression of telomerase activity irrespective of the inducing agent. We have employed a series of sublines of human promyelocytic
