## Abstract The adult central nervous system (CNS) is generally thought of as a postmitotic organ. However, DNA labeling studies have shown that one major population of nonneuronal cells, called microglia, retain significant mitotic potential. Microglial cell division is prominent during acute CNS

## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activity and telomere length have been shown to be involved in the control of cell proliferation and regulation of cell senescence. The expression of telomerase activity may endow cells with the capacity of unlimited proliferation and immortality. The authors examined the
## Abstract Telomerase activity is detectable in most human tumors but not in most normal somatic cells or tissues. Telomerase inhibition has, therefore, been proposed as a novel and potentially selective strategy for antitumor therapy. In the present study, we found that platinum compounds, includ
