## Background: Shortening of telomeres occurs with each cell division and eventually results in cell death. the activity of telomerase, an enzyme that catalyzes telomere elongation, has been detected in germ cell lines and cancer cells, and has been detected in immortal cell lines but not in normal
Transposons are ubiquitous genetic elements discovered so far in all investigated prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In remarkable contrast to all other genes, transposable elements are able to move to new locations within their host genomes. Transposition of transposons into coding sequences and their ini
## 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
Beyond a defective innate immune response in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), an increased immunological response toward microbial and self antigens has been intrinsically linked to the pathogenesis of such common immunopathologies of the gut. Mounting evidence indicates that increased seroreactivi
