摘要
Three recent studies from the Wright [1], Chai [2] and de Lange [3] labs have elucidated previously neglected aspects of cancer cell telomere maintenance. Because inhibiting telomere maintenance can selectively kill cancer cells without harming normal cells [4, 5], this new understanding of the mechanism and dynamics involved may provide useful new strategies for treating cancer.
